How the hell to cite references in our Wiki?
 

I can't for the life of me figure out how to do references. This wiki doesn't seem to follow the conventions I keep reading about Why aren't the ref tags <ref>LINK</ref> not working the way that I am reading everywhere?

It seems like I should be able to enter <ref>LINK</ref> and get a numbered footnote marker link inline with the text and then when I enter this at the bottom:

==Notes==
{{reflist}}

I should see the references listed out. Any ideas?

I think it's either an addon or requires a template to function properly. I've not looked into it yet, but go ahead and put your references in there or just cite using the short link format (which is simply [url]) at the end of or in the sentence/block of text you're referencing.

Edit: @Haltech; it's a plugin/addon thingy; per: :

Here are the help files for the wiki software:
Help:Contents - MediaWiki

Hopefully it'll describe how to do it in this:
Help:Extension:Cite - MediaWiki

I'll add the extension today.

Ok, i added the extension... give it a whirl.

Nice :)

N00b question. How does one embed an image instead of linking to it?

Shouldn't be embedding images that aren't uploaded to the wiki; never know when they will go down. That said, you may not have the ability to upload images...Link it here and I'll figure it out/write up instructions.

Not sure I'll need to anymore. We changed the direction of the page I'm working on.
