Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Cite Books

Hello all,
       I added the Cite extension.  However, on wikipedia there are ways 
that you can use formatting that tells it to cite a book or cite 
webpage.  For example, I can start with <ref>{{cite book | last1 = 
Whealton | first1 = Bruce | title = test | editors = smith, mary; jones, 
jean; smith, sam | publisher = Publisher | date = 2010 | pages = 100 | 
accessdate = 2010-09-13}}</ref>
       Doing that on my wiki shows that it doesn't recognize the cite 
book and the {}.  How is this accomplished?
Thanks,
Bruce
