Description

well I am building a wiki and I have perfectly installed wikimedia package (as mentioned in the readme file). Now most of the things are working but and tags are not working. Wikipedia uses them for Notes and References and to me, they are very important. How can I get them work ?

This is a separate extension in mediawiki so I would guess it would have to be added separately here. The cite extension in mediawiki is located here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php

I am not sure how easy it would be to integrate into Pear Wiki's mediawiki section.

I see, I can use footnotes modules for it but what about

{{Unreferenced section|date=February 2008}} kind of tags which creates messages like "This section does not cite its references" (example - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luton_Town_F.C.)

I am assuming that is also an extension but can give me some idea to implement this ?

Thanks
