Usage

This is a replacement for {{ref}}, which is very basic and does not include a lot of features. Only parameter is {{{1}}}, which defines the id to link to. This template is used in tandem with {{ref2}} and {{references}} to mimic citing, as the MediaWiki version we are provided with does not have citing extensions enabled like Wikipedia and other wikis.

Example

Bug:Links with "=" on it will break the template. Please use the {{=}} template as a workaround.  [todo tested in?]
