There is an inconsistency with current Wikipedia version
Cite.php here is inconsistent with what is currently being used for Cite.php referencing in Wikipedia.

In Wikipedia, the Cite.php referencing method was recently changed to use a caret (^) and superscripts a, b, c, etc. in the listing of references ... whereas Wikimedia is still using a vertical arrow (↑) and 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 in the listing of references. This inconsistency needs to be resolved. w:user:Mbeychok

CVS access
I can't log in via CVS. It's prompting me for a password. Leaving it blank and entering "anonymous" both fail. How do I log in? --66.120.86.154 17:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I would like to know that, too. 84.57.128.233 22:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The first time it failed, so I ran the first command again. It did not say anything. After that, I simply ran the 2nd command and it downloaded the files for me.

=Description?= How about a description of what this extension does or what extensions are contained within it?
 * Or how to use this extension. --Kakurady 22:03, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * In fact these are two separate extension, it was confusing because the hints what they do where only on the subpages. Hope I clarified it. --84.140.181.247 13:59, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Version numbers please
It would be helpful if the developers of this extension assigned a version number to this extension. This could be in both the code (so it shows up in special:version) and the extension infobox on this extension page. This way at a glance we can know if our MediaWiki installations are up to to date. --Maxelrod 21:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Problems with URL
After I installed the extension, the link from the side bar works fine, but the search box doesn't work. The reason is that it keeps creating links like this: "page=New York" when it should be "title=Especial:Cite&page=New York&id=28017". I couldn't find a way to add the rest of the link manually, if anyone knows how to fix this, please help. Here are the links to our extension page, to a good page coming from the side bar, and a page as it looks after using the search tool.
