Hello,

i have installed a brandnew 1.23.1 in a corporate environment. In Order to organize external web links i have activated Extension:Cite which is also running fine. However, neither the english wikipedia´s Template:Cite_Web nor the german Vorlage:Internetquelle is in my Wiki which i´d like to format external weblinks. Ich could now create the template and all depedencies manually by cut/copy/paste from some other sites. However, export (Special:Export/Template: ) doesn´t seem to work on Template: and Vorlage: , and import into these area also seems to be blocked. Is there a smart way to copy all those templates from another page ? Best would be repetitive job keeping my wiki in line with some other in terms of Templates and formatting.

Export of Templates (german Vorlagen) is possible ;) Just request https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Exportieren (german wikipedia) and type in "Vorlage:Internetquelle". If you want to have full dependencies, click "Inklusive Vorlagen" before click "Seiten exportieren". After this you become an export XML file which you can import simply in your wiki with Special:Import (german Spezial:Importieren").
