There are actually two *entirely separate extensions* in the Cite directory:


Cite/Cite.php : the <ref>, <references> tags.

This adds a system for adding footnotes to wiki articles, primarily 
meant for citing external references.


Cite/SpecialCite.php : Special:Cite

This adds a helper utility page which formats citations *to* a given 
wiki article, which you can then paste into the offline paper you're 
writing so you can site the wiki article as a reference.


I agree that this is confusing; probably Cite/Cite.php should be moved 
out to References/References.php or something sensible.
