Template:Reflist/doc

Description
Use this template to create a reference list in small font for an article. Note that there is no consensus that small font size should always be used for all references; when normal-sized font is more appropriate on an article, use  instead.

Syntax
Type  where you would normally type. If used with no parameters, it will produce a reference list with a single column.

Multiple columns
Using  will create a two-column reference list, and   will create a three-column list. Three-column lists are inaccessible to users with smaller/laptop monitors and should be avoided.

Using  will allow the browser to automatically choose the number of columns based on the width of the web browser. Choose a column width that's appropriate for the average width of the references on the page.

Multiple columns only work on Internet Explorer 10+, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox 2+, Google Chrome 4+, Safari 3.1+, Opera 11.1+, and any browsers based on them. Older web browsers may not display multiple columns correctly.
