:::::::{{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)

::::::::{{ping|Ondo}} Is the way I formatted it the way you wanted it? With one section as a citation and the other as a short description? I realized I could have misunderstood what you had wanted. If so, just tell me and I'll fix it! --[[User:Bean3000|Bean3000]] ([[User talk:Bean3000|talk]]) 00:47, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
