The Cite extension to MediaWiki provides a way for wiki editors to add references and footnotes to articles.

See [mw:Extension:Cite] for technical documentation on installing and configuring the extension. See [mw:Help:Cite] for user documentation.

Cite is responsible for implementing the <ref> and <references> tags in wikitext. Integrations are provided for the legacy wikitext parser, Parsoid, WikiEditor, VisualEditor, and the reading interface.
