Template:Reflist/doc

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  instead.

Syntax
Type where you would normally type. 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. Three-column lists are inaccessible to users with smaller/laptop monitors and should be avoided.

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 and Safari 3, though the feature is included in CSS3 so it should work for a larger number of browsers in the future.
