    Okay. Which templates should I use for citing books and journals? I’d be glad to fix the entry myself.

      If you’re used to the Visual editor, our templates are here:

      If not, it’s the “Citation” and “Web citation” templates

            Oh, that was easy. I just used the ‘replace all’ function in OpenOffice Writer and quickly skimmed the preview before submitting it.

            Can we redirect Template:Cite book to Template:Citation, or should we leave it as it is?

              I’m not sure if these templates use the same parameters. If you’re referring to the Cite book from Wikipedia, I’m absolutely sure it doesn’t use the same parameters, so there could be problems. For instance, Wikipedia’s templates use “Firstn and Lastn” as parameters for first and last names. Our Citation template on the other hand uses only “Author” as a parameter
