Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Reflist/doc. (edit | history)
This template has a sandbox (edit) for editors to experiment.

This template is used on many pages. To avoid any disruptions and to save server load, any changes should first be tested in this template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. As a courtesy to other users, please discuss any changes at the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

Use this template to create a reference list in an article.

If used with no parameters, it will simply produce a reference list in a small font.

Multiple columns

Using {{reflist|2}} will create a two-column reference list, and {{reflist|3}} will create a three-column list.

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.

Note: multiple columns currently render properly only in Mozilla Firefox, though the feature is included in CSS3, so it should work for a larger number of browsers in the future.
