Many wikis use templates to format references. If a template is used in your reference, then all the text in the template will be highlighted when you click on the reference information.

If a template was used and you've clicked on information in that template, then the icon (puzzle piece) will appear. Click on that icon to edit the content of the template in the template mini-editor dialog.
