The simplest way to use this template is with RefToolbar. Registered users can enable this option in the Gadgets tab of the My Preferences menu. After this is enabled, the following code needs to be copied to your skin Javascript file. You will then notice a new Cite tab when editing a page. By clicking on the templates drop down you will find RCDB. Fill in the details and click insert.
importScript('User:Mr.Z-man/refToolbar 2.0.js');
$j('head').one('reftoolbarbase', function() {
new citeTemplate('RCDB', 'RCDB',
