[Mediawiki-l] Templates - Harvard and Citation

[Sean O'Connor]

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
