Greetings! I'm developing my own wiki and installed v1.6.5. I use MySQL v5.0.83. The wiki itself functions fine but after adding the extension Cite.php and adding the call command require_once( "$IP/extensions/Cite/Cite.php"); it gives me the stubborn fatal error message Fatal error: Class 'Cite' not found in $IP/wiki/extensions/Cite/Cite.php on line 54.
From my research this is failing to call Cite.php from itself which sounds impossible. Truly at a loss here.

Cite.php:

<?php
if ( ! defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) )
	die();
/**#@+

 * citations to pages
 *
 * @addtogroup Extensions

if ( defined( 'MW_SUPPORTS_PARSERFIRSTCALLINIT' ) ) {

The line:

new Cite;

means that there needs to be a class called Cite, not a file called Cite.php. Even if there was a Cite class, the code in the wfCite function wouldn't need that line as it doesn't reference the object after that. Remove that line and your code should be fine.

tried it. Removed new Cite; and the page loads but it fails to do anything when I put in the <ref></ref><references /> tags. It must be trying to create the Cite class for use with further handling.

The line error is actually being returned as Line 51 - which is new Cite; I just don't know what to do about it.
