::::::{{ping|Ondo}} Weird development haha. I used the cite button, and it does provide a citation. But the links it makes don't go anywhere. Unless I make it a reference, which when I copy and paste into the coloumn kills the link. I have no idea why this is happening, but I will be going through and fixing them all. Just wanted to give you a heads up while I'm doing this.--[[User:Bean3000|Bean3000]] ([[User talk:Bean3000|talk]]) 02:43, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

:::::::{{ping|Bean3000}} assuming that by "link" you mean the little number (e.g. <sup>[1]</sup>), yeah, I hadn't thought about that! It automatically formats the citation as a reference that is automatically added at the bottom of the page. I see that you are editing with the Visual Editor, so I don't think it's possible to easily turn the references into "in-line citations". I see it's resolved now, but for future references, you can switch to the code editor and remove the <nowiki><ref> ... </ref></nowiki> tags that will be surrounding the cite template (e.g. <nowiki>{{cite book}}</nowiki>). It's designed this way because generally, when you are citing a source you want it to be a reference. (maybe you didn't mean, let me know in case I misunderstood!) --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 10:50, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
