When you add a contributor, in exceptional cases, the author only has a name, no "First name" or no "Last name". "Last name" is a mandatory field in Bibcite. So when this case happens to me I put the name in mandatory field "Last name". Examples:

Kalidasa, Muhamad, Bansky, Anonymous, etc.

When APA presentations are listed you get this:

Mahoma,. (1954). El Koran (2a. ed., p. 868). Madrid: Aguilar.

After Muhammad prints a comma and then a period, when there should only be one period. Can this be solved in any way?

Thank you.

Thanks for reporting this. This is indeed due to problematic logic in the module, which always adds a space to the "Given Name" even if there is no first name and last name. I've created a merge request that resolves this issue.
