    not see the template markup but instead sees the result of the template as html.  cs1|2 strips the html which
    leaves the displayed value for the anchor id.  We can't do that here so, because templates aren't allowed in
    parameters, we simply discard any templates found in the cs1|2 template.
    
    this may leave a |lastn= parameter empty which will be treated as if it were really empty as cs1|2 do (three authors,
