Forum:How to make the citation templates work properly?

Hello everyone.

So I'm trying to help out this wiki. One of the things I'm trying to do, is make it to where you can cite sources, reference, and all that. Basically, what I did, is I copy/pasted all the templates I thought I needed from Wikipedia and put them into the wiki. Now I don't see any redlinks anymore in the reflist template, but it still looks VERY weird and buggy. I know I'm missing SOMETHING. But what am I missing?

Here's a sandbox article so I can show you what I mean:

 * Wikipedia's code is not very good to use on Wikia. Its probably better to use w:c:templates. —Manyman (talk) 12:22, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
