The actual template is at Template:scripture. Click there to edit, but please don't unless you know what you're doing!
Syntax is as follows: {{scripture|a|b|c|d}} [Can also use {{s|a|b|c|d}} if you don't want to type "scripture" every time.]
Note: don't put spaces between elements. So, you can put 4-7,9 for verses 4-7 and then verse 9, but don't put "4 - 7, 9." If you do so, you are ritually impure in a wiki sense.
Due to software limitations, books of scripture with more than one word in their title are a bit tricky. Fortunately, there are only 3, and they are small and of relatively little importance in apologetics.

If you're having problems, try changing the template name to "scripturetest."
This is a troubleshooting template, that shows you what you're entering, and how the computer is interpreting it. When you get it fixed, just change the name back to "scripture" instead of "scripturetest", and you're good to go!
In short, there should always be 4—count 'em!—vertical bars -> |||| within the template. Whether there's anything between the bars depends on what you're citing.
Please report any bugs or citations that don't work to Greg Smith.
