I think, that was meant to be
(setq message-citation-line-function
'message-insert-formatted-citation-line)
(setq messate-citation-line-format "On %d.%m.%Y %f wrote:\n")
You may need to reload Gnus for new settings to take effect.

Yes, it is. Looks like that you'd better use `M-x customize-variable` to
edit settings, because that way you get contextual documentation right
at your fingertips.
