[h="2"]Description[/h]
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>[noparse]<references />[/noparse]</code> instead.[footnote]I am a reference[/footnote]
[h="2"]Syntax[/h]
Type <code>[template]t|reflist|...[/template]</code> where you would normally type <code>[noparse]<references/>[/noparse]</code>. If used with no parameters, it will produce a reference list with a single column.
[h="3"] Multiple columns [/h]
Using <code>[noparse]{{reflist|2}}[/noparse]</code> will create a two-column reference list, and <code>[noparse]{{reflist|3}}[/noparse]</code> will create a three-column list. Three-column lists are inaccessible to users with smaller/laptop monitors and should be avoided.
Using <code>[noparse]{{reflist|colwidth=30em}}[/noparse]</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'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 and Safari 3, though the feature is included in CSS3 so it should work for a larger number of browsers in the future.
