Hey Jon, There are two ways you can get citations working locally. Apparently there is a Vagrant config you can use, or you can set it up manually: 1. Install the TemplateData extension and set it up according to the installation instructions on Mediawiki.org 2. Install the Scribunto extension and set it up according to the installation instructions on Mediawiki.org 3. Copy the main citation module from en.wiki to your local wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Citation/CS1 4. Create some citation templates. The easiest way to do this is to copy the code from en.wiki, but delete everything in the noinclude sections (otherwise you'll be in template dependancy hell) 5. Add templateData data to your template pages. See the TemplateData documentation on Mediawiki.org 6. Set up your cite group definition on your local wiki at MediaWiki:Visualeditor-cite-tool-definition.json, for example: [ { "name": "web", "icon": "ref-cite-web", "template": "Cite web" }, { "name": "book", "icon": "ref-cite-book", "template": "Cite book" }, { "name": "news", "icon": "ref-cite-news", "template": "Cite news" }, { "name": "journal", "icon": "ref-cite-journal", "template": "Cite journal" } ] Good luck!
