So, I go there and it tells me how to use that particular template. I have an idea from the next link how a template works. However, being new to mediawiki, I'm not sure yet, how to actually set up a template that would make those things happen like they do on wikipedia, when you cite a book for example. I was hoping that some templates, for consistency, already existed, and so I'd be able to ensure that the templates I use match the citation templates used on wikipedia. Thanks, Bruce
