I think there is a template that is missing from my wiki since I have only 2 pages on there.
Topic on Project:Support desk
Help:Cite, like William Shakespeare, it doesn't work. I copied and pasted the code and what did it do? NOTHING!
What code have you pasted? Also have you enabled the relevant extension Extension:Cite?
The code that I pasted was this:
The Sun is pretty big.<ref>E. Miller, ''The Sun'', (New York: Academic Press, 2005), 23–25.</ref> The Moon, however, is not so big.<ref>R. Smith, "Size of the Moon", ''Scientific American'', 46 (April 1978): 44–46.</ref>
==Notes== <references />
Also, no, I haven't enabled the extension. I'm not even sure how to do it.
Ok you now need the extension mentioned above for that to work correctly. See Manual:Installing extensions
I think that saw the extension's folder, but does that mean that it is installed?
It probably means it's downloaded not installed. Please read Extension:Cite from the top.
I think that I downloaded it just a few seconds ago.
But it still doesn't work and I still see the code even after I saved the changes.
That is, I want the code to work and stay hidden outside of editing, but this just is not happening.
Never mind, I got the extension to work! I just added some code in the local settings and it works!
