Template:Reflist/doc
Description[edit source]
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 <references />
instead.[1]
Syntax[edit source]
Type {{reflist|<...>}}
where you would normally type <references/>
. If used with no parameters, it will produce a reference list with a single column.
Multiple columns[edit source]
Using {{reflist|2}}
will create a two-column reference list, and {{reflist|3}}
will create a three-column list. Three-column lists are inaccessible to users with smaller/laptop monitors and should be avoided.
Using {{reflist|colwidth=30em}}
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.
Sample output[edit source]
{{reflist}}
gives...
- ↑ I am a reference
CSS used[edit source]
.references-small { font-size: 90%; }
