USAGE:
{{Cite | SHORTCUT NAME TO USE LATER | FULL NORMAL CITATION | CITE-U-LIKE LINK}}
It should be noted that this page does have a "references" at the bottom of it, but that is not part of the template, you will need to include a "<references />" at the end of your document
If you have already used this reference name once, then you can simply use the {{Cite | REF NAME}}
For those of you wanting to see how and why this works, please check the following pages (in no particular order): String Parsing, Parser Logic, Magic words for refs inside templates, includeonly and noinclude, And understanding that the <!-- ... -> is the html equivalent of a comment and without it, the extra whitespace would be parsed into the template as well. The noinclude inside the #pos word is to ensure the citation is not done twice.
