Forum:How to Cite External Websites using Numbered Citations

I tried to search for this topic using several different search strings. I assume this must have been discussed already but I could not find it. My question is this:

I used to be able to link to an external website and choose to use a numbered link/reference (eg - It would look like this. [1] ). The new format does not seem to have that option. Of course I can do it manually but it becomes difficult to make sure that my numbered citations are in the correct order. My wiki (pathinfo.wikia.com) is mainly for physicians, so we are used to being able to cite the medical literature via this style of numbered references/citations. Is there an easier way to do this, like their used to be? Thanks!

 * Further to this question. I noticed that, when using the same reference multiple times, Wikia's format for the  or  is to number them. e.g.   rather than the wikipedia format of  . Personally I think the wikipedia format is better, is it possible to change this? Ollie Martin  15:00, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
