Template:Reflist
Wraps the <references /> tag (from the Cite extension) in a styled container, optionally splitting footnotes into multiple columns for long reference lists — matching the common convention used across Wikipedia and most MediaWiki sites.
Note: requires the Cite extension for <ref>/<references /> to work at all. If footnote markers aren't appearing as numbered superscripts anywhere on a page using this template, check Special:Version to confirm Cite is installed — this template alone can't create citations without it.
Usage:
== References ==
{{Reflist}}
For a long reference list split into columns:
{{Reflist|colwidth=30em}}
Or a fixed number of columns:
{{Reflist|2}}
Parameters
- 1 (unnamed) — optional. Number of columns to split references into
- colwidth — optional. Column width (e.g.
30em) instead of a fixed count — references will flow into as many columns as fit
