We very rarely use Cites on this site. Just add a link (in alternate-word form to flow with the sentence, ideally).
I've never really used toolbar stuff (simple enough to tap in {s, }s, [s and ]s, as well as any s needed for HTML, etc), and it's simple to (eventually, perhaps checking via Preview that it's not totally messed up on the first go or two) work out what others did to add references and copy the style of the right kinds of them.
So if you want to mention a link to ball lenses, just do something like this. (PS., use the full ~~~~ when signing Talk contributions, I fixed yours without using the {{unsigned}} 'reminder'..) 172.70.86.31 14:28, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
