WIP citation overhaul
My old {{Citation}} template (originally called ref2) is very basic, only having the ability to put any format of text into {{{1}}}, with the only other parameter being {{{access-date}}} (and cite-id, but that's not changing). This new Citation template will be more accurate to Wikipedia's version, with parameters for each part of the citation (title, url, website, archive-url, last, first, etc), with the exception that {{{title}}} will not have any special styling, and the user will have to manually put any quotes or italics. Some parameters will likely be missing, because they are usually not used by the average user and my not get used considering the scope of this wiki, but I will try my best to include the important ones. Feel free to use my talk page to suggest anything or if you have any questions.
