Hi Alyna,
Indeed, if the authors are already mentioned in the sentence, you don’t need to repeat their names in the parentheses. If they’re not already mentioned in the sentence, you should include the names in the parentheses. This way you avoid unnecessary repetition.

You can read more about in-text citations for sources without page numbers (such as most websites) here. The general rule is to use whatever divisions the source does provide, and just omit this element if it doesn’t provide any.
]]>Hi Alexis,
No, citations are never numbered in MLA style. If you’re citing several different pages from the same website, cite the specific author of each page; if they’re all by the same author, include the page title in the citation as well. If no author is specified, just cite the title instead.
If you’re citing the same page multiple times, you just cite it in the same way each time.
I hope that answers your question! You can also learn more in our full guide to MLA in-text citations.
