This is confusing. So there are two parts to Cite to make it work completely.
There are actually two *entirely separate extensions* in the Cite directory:
Cite/Cite.php : the <ref>, <references> tags.
This adds a system for adding footnotes to wiki articles, primarily meant for citing external references.
Cite/SpecialCite.php : Special:Cite
This adds a helper utility page which formats citations *to* a given wiki article, which you can then paste into the offline paper you're writing so you can site the wiki article as a reference.
I agree that this is confusing; probably Cite/Cite.php should be moved out to References/References.php or something sensible.
