==Usage==
+
-
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 <code><nowiki><references&nbsp;/></nowiki></code> instead.
+
-
 
+
-
If used with no parameters, it will produce a reference list with a single column.
+
-
 
+
-
===Font size===
+
-
The font size should reduce to 90% for most browsers, but may show at 100% for Internet Explorer and possibly other browsers. Reflist uses one CSS entry in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] to set the font size:
+
-
 
+
-
* <code>.references-small { font-size: 90%;}</code>
+
-
 
+
-
There is another CSS entry:
+
-
 
+
-
* <code>ol.references { font-size: 100%;}</code>
+
-
 
+
-
Although Reflist does not use this CSS, some browsers may honor it over the references-small CSS, especially Internet Explorer, thus showing the font size at 100%.
+
-
 
+
-
Editors may over-ride these settings by placing entries in their personal CSS.
+
-
 
+
-
===Multiple columns===
+
-
Using <code>{{tlx|reflist|2}}</code> will create a two-column reference list, and <code>{{tlx|reflist|3}}</code> will create a three-column list.  Three-column lists are inaccessible to users with smaller/laptop monitors and should be avoided.
+
-
 
+
-
Using <code>{{tlx|reflist|colwidth{{=}}30em}}</code> will allow the browser to automatically choose the number of columns based on the width of the web browser.  Choose a column width that is appropriate for the average width of the references on the page.
+
-
 
+
-
====Browser support====
+
-
Multiple columns are generated by using [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS3]], which is still in development; thus only browsers that properly support the multi-column selector will show multiple columns.<ref>{{cite web|accessdate=2006-11-24|date=[[2005-12-30]]|title=CSS3 Multi-Column Thriller|url=http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/css3_multi-column_thriller.html}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/|title=CSS3 module: Multi-column layout|publisher=[[World Wide Web Consortium|W3C]]|date=[[2005-12-15]]|accessdate=2006-11-24}}</ref>
+
-
 
+
-
* [[Mozilla Firefox]] and other [[Gecko (layout engine)|Gecko]]-based browsers support multiple columns with two caveats:
+
-
**may create [[Widows and orphans|widows]]
+
-
**may mangle long URLs in the printable version; see [[:Image:Wikipediareflistoverlap.gif]] for an example
+
-
* [[Internet Explorer]] does not currently support the column selector; version 8 is not scheduled to support it.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc351024(VS.85).aspx#multicolumn |title=CSS Compatibility and Internet Explorer: Multi-column Layout |work=Microsoft Developer Network |publisher=Microsoft |accessdate=2008-09-15}}</ref>
+
-
* [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]] 3.1.2, [[Google Chrome]] and possibly other [[WebKit]] based browsers have a bug that breaks links in multiple columns; the column feature has been removed for these browsers until the bug is resolved; see [[Template:Reflist/Safari testcase]] for details.
+
-
* [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]] does not support multiple columns.
+
-
 
+
-
===Three options for usage===
+
-
====Option 1 (only specific references)&nbsp;— Example:====
+
-
<pre>
+
-
==Content==
+
-
Lorem ipsum.<ref>Source name, access date, etc.</ref>
+
-
 
+
-
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.<ref>Source name, access date, etc.</ref>
+
-
 
+
-
==References==
+
-
{{reflist}}
+
-
</pre>
+
-
 
+
-
====Option 2 (only general references)&nbsp;— Example:====
+
-
<pre>
+
-
==Content==
+
-
Lorem ipsum.
+
-
 
+
-
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
+
-
 
+
-
==References==
+
-
{{refbegin}}
+
-
* general reference 1
+
-
* general reference 2
+
-
{{refend}}
+
-
</pre>
+
-
 
+
-
====Option 3 (both specific and general references)&nbsp;— Example:====
+
-
<pre>
+
-
==Content==
+
-
Lorem ipsum.<ref>Source name, access date, etc.</ref>
+
-
 
+
-
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.<ref>Source name, access date, etc.</ref>
+
-
 
+
-
Lorem ipsum.
+
-
 
+
-
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
+
-
 
+
-
==References==
+
-
{{reflist}}
+
-
 
+
-
{{refbegin}}
+
-
* general reference 1
+
-
* general reference 2
+
-
{{refend}}
+
-
</pre>
+
-
 
+
-
====Continuing the references====
+
-
In order to add references manually, use the "#" sign and enclose the additional references in the <code>"references-small"</code> div style, as in this example:
+
-
 
+
-
{{Pre2|scroll|<nowiki>
+
-
<div class="references-small">
+
-
#<li value="2"> [http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/news/features/feature20070719.cfm ''Cassini-Huygens: NEWS - Features - Saturn Turns 60'']
+
-
# [http://www.scitech.ac.uk/PMC/PRel/STFC/frank.aspx ''A new moon for Saturn a family affair'']
+
-
# [http://ciclops.org/view.php?id=3353 ''From Dark Obscurity... A Tiny New Saturnian Moon Comes To Light'']
+
-
</div>
+
-
</nowiki>}}
+
-
 
+
-
The <code><nowiki><li value="2"></nowiki></code> tag is used to ensure the new references start at the correct number. In the example, there was just one reference. Had there been 10, we would have started the additional references at "11".
+
-
 
+
-
==Groups extension==
+
-
The <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tag now supports named groups so that separate lists may be created— see [[Wikipedia:Footnotes#Separating reference lists and explanatory notes]].
+
-
 
+
-
The general format for the reference tag would be:
+
-
 
+
-
<pre><ref group=name></pre>
+
-
 
+
-
And for the reflist:
+
-
<pre>{{reflist|group=name}})</pre>
+
-
 
+
-
:Where ''name'' would be a group identifier such as "note", "nb" or "label".
+
-
 
+
-
For example, to create a separate format notes list, the references would be formatted as:
+
-
 
+
-
<pre><ref group=note></pre>
+
-
 
+
-
To create the formatted list:
+
-
 
+
-
<pre>
+
-
==Name==
+
-
{{reflist|group=note}})</pre>
+
-
 
+
-
While any number of groups can be created and listed, they should be kept to a minimum.
+
-
 
+
-
==Caveats==
+
-
 
+
-
This template (or <code><nowiki><references/></nowiki></code> by any means, for that matter) should probably not be used multiple times in the same page with the same value for the <code><nowiki>group</nowiki></code> parameter. But if this is for some reason required, at least one parameter must be passed to every invocation of the template for correct output. For example, use <code><nowiki>{{reflist|dummy=1}}</nowiki></code> instead of simply <code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code>.
