M. Whealton Sent: Monday, 13 September 2010 1:31 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Cite Books Hello all, I added the Cite extension. However, on wikipedia there are ways that you can use formatting that tells it to cite a book or cite webpage. For example, I can start with <ref>{{cite book | last1 = Whealton | first1 = Bruce | title = test | editors = smith, mary; jones, jean; smith, sam | publisher = Publisher | date = 2010 | pages = 100 | accessdate = 2010-09-13}}</ref> Doing that on my wiki shows that it doesn't recognize the cite book and the {}. How is this accomplished? Thanks, Bruce -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ B. M.
