Viewing source output of a MediaWiki template

Is there a way to get the mediawiki code that is generated by a template? I want to go on to Wikipedia, use a citation template, and copy the generated wiki code to 开发者_开发问答my wiki that doesn't have those citation templates.

There is indeed a way -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ExpandTemplates

Note that this is provided by an extension, so if you want this ability on your own MediaWiki installation you may need to install it: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ExpandTemplates
