  You could try going to your preferences, and check the "Enabling the editing toolbar" box. After saving, the toolbar should appear at the top of the editing interface; click "Cite", then in the "Templates" drop down menu click on either "Cite web" or "Cite news" depending on the source. Fill in the boxes and you should get nice looking sources. A^♭m ^(Ring!) _(Notes) 07:49, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
