Template:Reflist



Use   instead of to create multi-column footnote lists for heavily cited articles.

This template and the exerpted documentaiton below are lifted from based on the Wikimedia template. Both have 1:1 with the originating Wikimedia template as of the July 9 2007 revision. ''Don't expect that to last, even at maturity the originating template is receiving ~1 minor tweak every month. It is unlikely to see fundamental revision (and thus re-porting) until CSS3 reaches a tipping point.

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

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.

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.

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