[DAS] [Root-l] Had to disable Cite PHP extension on the biodas wiki

[Steve Chervitz]

Hi Chris,

I originally set up the biodas wiki site and don't recall installing Cite or
SpecialCite, of if/whether it is still needed. Andreas also worked on the
wiki and may have more clues (added to the cc list).

Looks like the error is just for SpecialCite, so it may be possible to just
disable that and keep using Cite. Looking at the docs for SpecialCite, it
doesn't seem useful for the biodas wiki:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Special:Cite.php

Thanks,
Steve
