Template:Reflist/Transwiki guide
The following steps below detail how template {{reflist}} is implemented on the English Wikipedia. If porting an exact copy of the template {{reflist}} to other Wikimedia projects, the following needs to be copied (and modified to suit the needs of your project); other wikis outside Wikimedia projects should make sure the latest versions of the extensions Cite, ParserFunctions and TemplateStyles are installed first, and if adding the tracking category you'll also need to install Scribunto. Please use an edit summary like the text shown so the history will show where each page came from.
