Hello all,
I'm afraid I have yet another newbie question... Again, I've looked around on mediawiki and wikipedia, but can't seem to figure it out. I've found the Harvard Citation and the Citation templates in use on wikipedia. This does actually what I'm hoping for. The question is, how do I incorporate it into my wiki???
I did a "view source" on the template's page, and copy/pasted that into Template:Harvard_Citation on my own wiki, but when I attempt using the syntax, it just doesn't work.
Could someone point me to the resource I'm sure exists, but couldn't find that will explain how to do this?
Thank you
These templets use (most likely among others) the phaser functions extension. The templates themselves then call upon other templates, so you would need to include all of them in your wiki as well. It would probably be better to make your own with tables.

I'd guess they almost certainly use the Cite extension, too.
What are phaser functions? Can we set these from "stun" to "kill" on Wikipedia?

Thank you for that.
And yet another idea for my wiki I need to abandon because I can't code.
<moan> As a side note, I find mediawiki to be awesome, and there are a vast number of extensions that are brilliant. Yet, there is much that can only be done with it if you are a programmer. Oh hummm</moan>

Go and hire a programmer. If everyone can code, people won't pay programmers for that :)

Yes well... If I could afford to pay a programmer, I probably would. However, funds are limited. And programmers don't come cheap (note, this is not a reflection of my perception of the value of a programmer, merely a reflection of the fact that a skilled programmer costs a significant amount of money).
Take heart! Many of the extensions (esp. the "stable" ones) don't require significant programming skills beyond editing the LocalSettings file as specified in the installation instructions.
