I can't get my citations to work and I'm wondering if I have to install more extensions? I just upgraded to the latest version of the software and have the citations extensions installed, but the cite tags don't parse. I'm confused about what else I have to do to get it to work. I read something about needing templates to make citations work, but other sources never mention templates. I do not have the cite option in my menu in the visual editor, if that makes a difference. I'm lost on this one!

Is cite listed in Special:version on your wiki?
Does the <ref>citation here</ref> syntax work in the non-visual wikitext editor?
Thank-you for replying! Ahh, no, cite is not listed in Special:version and that makes my answer to your second question obvious, but no, the <ref> syntax doesn't work in the non-visual editor.
Is there a special process I need to go through to install the additional extensions? The first install I did was automatic, the second was manual. The extensions are all uploaded, but none are listed.
However, now that I know this I was able to figure out that I need to add the extensions to my local settings file and it looks like I'm good to go! Thank you so much!!!
