Type Parameters

The following is a list of parameters for each valid type. I'll flesh out this documentation as I build up this template more, but use these as your categories for now. Each entry here is also listed with every parameter required to properly cite them as a source. Indented types indicate that the type is either a subset of the main type or an additional recognized name for the item's Type which formats like another variant of that item. The list of types defined here were chosen based on recommended categories and parameters referred to by the the MLA, APA, and Chicago citation format style guides.
