Paste this exactly into this page:
[
{ "name": "web", "icon": "ref-cite-web", "template": "Cite web" },
{ "name": "book", "icon": "ref-cite-book", "template": "Cite book" },
{ "name": "news", "icon": "ref-cite-news", "template": "Cite news" },
{ "name": "journal", "icon": "ref-cite-journal", "template": "Cite journal" }
]That should bring the manual templates into the box in VE.
Step 2:
The templates should each have <templatedata> tags on their /doc subpages. See mw:Help:TemplateData. You can probably copy that from where the templates were copied from.
Step 3:
You need to create the page MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json for automatic references to work. See the English Wikipedia version for an example, and this page for the documentation.
Clicking on "Cite" now reveals the Automatic and Manual dialogues.
We couldn't make a citation for you. You can create one manually using the "Manual" tab above.
