References

[edit] [purge ] Documentation

This template is a version of {{reflist}} designed to show a reference section for a talk page discussion within a bordered box. Usage is deprecated as talk pages are often auto-archived and/or added to at the bottom.

Usage

Optional:

In previous versions of MediaWiki, a bug caused this template to render incorrectly unless at least one parameter was specified, so a dummy parameter called "close" was often used. The underlying bug has since been fixed, so dummy parameters are no longer required and should not be used.

Parameters

  • |title= specifies the box title, defaults to References

The template honors these features of {{reflist}}:

  • |colwidth=
  • |refs=
  • |group=

It specifically closes all references so that it can be used multiple times on a page— see Template:Reflist/doc#Multiple uses. The reference list is shown and honors indenting markup to keep it with the discussion.

The template should be placed after the discussion that includes the references, as it will include all references before the template. This keeps the references associated with the appropriate section for clarity and to maintain the integrity of the discussion when archived.
