Using prototype citation grouping feature of MediaWiki Extension:Cite

I use MediaWiki 1.35.1.

MediaWiki Cite extension has a prototype reference collecting feature. I'd like to use it in my wiki. According to the note below, this one is only available in the Beta-Cluster and indeed, I can use it on its sample pages. The Beta-Cluster Special:Version points to 69a5435 revision of the extension being used. However, if I download this snapshot and place it in my extension folder, this feature still doesn't work and extends attribute is still not recognized. The error I've got is

Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many

How can I enable this feature in my own wiki?

Solution

  • As it turned out, I need to set in LocalSettings.php following option:

    $wgCiteBookReferencing = true;

    I missed this because this is not mentioned anywhere in Help:Cite page. I've found it later in Extension:Cite page.
