ފަންވަތް:Reflist/doc: Difference between revisions

This template encapsulates the {{tag|references |single}} tag to show the list of references defined by {{tag|ref}} tags, with some formatting. It reduces the font size and has options for columns and groups. References can be defined within the body of the article or within the reference list.

Using {{tlx|reflist|2}} will create a two-column reference list, and {{tlx|reflist|3}} will create a three-column list. Three-column lists are inaccessible to users with smaller/laptop monitors and should be avoided.

Using {{tlx|reflist|colwidth{{=}}30em}} will allow the browser to automatically choose the number of columns based on the width of the web browser. Choose a column width that is appropriate for the average width of the references on the page.

If {{tl|reflist}} is used multiple times without a parameter, each instance will include all of the previous define references. To force the parser to close previous references, each use of {{tl|reflist}} must be forced as a new instance by the use of any parameter. Even a undefined parameter such as {{tlx|reflist|close==1}} will force the references to close.

As of June 2008, the footnotes system supports the separation of references into groups. This allows groups for explanatory notes, table references and the like. See [[Wikipediaވިކިޕީޑިއާ:Footnotes#Separating reference lists and explanatory notes]].

:{{tag|ref group==''"groupname"''|open}}

:{{tlx|reflist|group==''"groupname"''}}

As of September 2009, references may be defined within {{tl|reflist}} using {{para|refs}} and invoked within the content. There are new error messages associated with this update, documented at [[Helpއެހީ:Cite errors]].

* [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]] through 4.03, [[Google Chrome]] and probably other [[WebKit]] based browsers have a bug that breaks links in multiple columns; the column feature has been removed for these browsers until the bug is resolved; see [[Templateފަންވަތް:reflist/Safari testcase]] for details.

{{tl|Reflist}} uses a CSS rule in [[MediaWikiމީޑިއާވިކީ:Common.css]] to set the font size:

By editing your CSS, the personal appearance of the reference list can be customized. From [[Specialޚާއްސަ:Preferences|Preferences]], select the Appearance tab, then on the selected skin select Custom CSS. After editing and saving, follow the instructions at the top of the page to purge. See [[Wikipediaވިކިޕީޑިއާ:Skin#Customisation (advanced users)]] for more help.

There have been a number of requests to add functionality for a collapsible or scrolling reference list. These requests have not been fulfilled to due to issues with readability, accessibility, and printing. The applicable guidelines are at [[Wikipediaވިކިޕީޑިއާ:Manual of Style#Scrolling lists]] and [[Wikipediaވިކިޕީޑިއާ:Accessibility#Scrolling and collapsible sections]].
