- It's a tale of two {{cite}}s :P
- Check out most of the pages with {{cite}} on it. These are ones that are, for the most part, either imported by or written by Wikipedians. {{cite}} on BTW and {{cite}} on Wikipedia currently work very, very differently and are utterly incompatible. I'm replacing instances of the currently correct usage with {{citation needed}} because it's less work to import pages from Wikipedia than it is to import and have to change dozens of citations each time. --Xoid 19:25, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
