Enabling and in MediaWiki
By admin | September 14, 2008
If you have a MediaWiki installation and decide to make it Wikipedia-like, you will find that the <ref> tags and the <references /> tags don’t work like they do in Wikipedia. Below is a screenshot of the citation tags not working:
To fix this problem, you need to install the Cite extenstion for MediaWiki. Below is a step-by-step guide to installing the Cite extension:
- Download the Cite extension – ZIP format, RAR format or 7zip format.
- Extract it to a temporary location.
- Upload the “Cite” folder to your extensions folder.
- Edit LocalSettings.php and add:
require_once( $IP.'/extensions/Cite/Cite.php' );
after the line
require_once( "$IP/includes/DefaultSettings.php" );
- Now refresh the page and try again!
