I recommend installing [[mw:Extension:Cite]]; it would enable citations to be done in what's become the standard format across the wikisphere. Thanks.

::A few pages at [[Special:LongPages]] have a lot of inline citations, e.g. [[Let.sysops.be]]. There aren't a lot of examples, perhaps because people aren't going to do a lot of citations without Cite. The lack of it makes it so that you have to put them inline, which disrupts the flow of the article, or just put a barelink, which can rot and doesn't give a lot of information (e.g. author, date, etc.). Also, it makes it so that people can't port content about wikis to and from WikiIndex without converting the references.
