We would have to go through all the pages and just update the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags with the template inside of it. We would go through the pages as we have time. There are a lot of page and this really is just to standard the citing so it's no big priority, but it should be done if we were ever going to "publish" this site on a CD.

This is an archive successful proposal that was vetted through the Think Tank, a place where ideas of all kinds are proposed and worked upon by the community prior to implementation. Please do not modify this proposal.

Cite Templates

We do a lot of "citeing" outside sources and I think we need to have a standard in the format in which they appear. Since I been doing lots of citing on Wikipedia, they use special templates that keep everything intact and properly formated in MLA or what ever style the author would like to use. I am suggestion that we adopt some of the templates from Category:Citation templates and use them here. Now I am not suggestion all of them but these are a few I think we should consider.

We would have to go through all the pages and just update the <ref> tags with the template inside of it. We would go through the pages as we have time. There are a lot of page and this really is just to standard the citing so it's no big priority, but it should be done if we were ever going to "publish" this site on a CD.

The above is an archive of a proposal that was vetted through the Think Tank. Please do not modify or edit this archived proposal.
