How to parse the Bibliography in elegant way on EnsiWiki

I'm using this website which is powered by MediaWiki, my problem is that I'm trying to reference the bibliography in elegant way following the procedure explained in the Help:Footnotes, but the references rendering isn't working at all.

Result

can you please tell me how to render my bibliography in elegant way?

{{#tag:ref|...{{tc}}...{{{1}}}...}}

{|class=wikitable

:The only reference to Excel For Dummies.<ref>Excel For Dummies, First Edition, Hungry Minds, Inc., 1980.</ref>

Solution

  • You need to activate the extension Cite, which is bundled with MediaWiki in LocalSettings.php:

    wfLoadExtension( 'Cite' );
