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 <references /> instead.

Syntax

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

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

{{reflist}} gives...

CSS used

.references-small { font-size: 90%; }
