I was having a strange issue where my notelist wasn't listing as lower case even though my prose refs were. I like to have my notelist on the same line as the semicolon heading to save space, but it looks like that was what was causing this issue. I was able to fix it → see the diff. I'll be fine if it I leave it like this, but if you go back one revision, you'll see what I'm talking about. Someone maintaining this template want to fix it? czar ♔ 17:14, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
((notelist))
template must be at the start of a line". Technically speaking, the <div class="reflist" style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">...</div>
that is supposed to enclose the <ol class="references">...</ol>
is being removed from its proper position, and instead placed inside a <dd>...</dd>
which is part of the preceding <dl>...</dl>
leaving the <ol class="references">...</ol>
unenclosed. It is that <div>...</div>
which alters the figures to letters. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:31, 10 May 2014 (UTC)There applies an inline style `list-style-type: lower-alpha;` on the div with class reflist. To work in mobile this inline style should be on the list element itself or you should add a class the to the element and a css rule to MediaWiki:Mobile.css.

I'm a little confused by the link you post to. I don't see the ((Notelist))
template used anywhere...
I suspect the best way to fix this for mobile is to do something like
<div class="lower-alpha-list" style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
in conjunction with .lower-alpha-list ul {list-style-type: lower-alpha;}

Is this thing now doing auto-columns, like ((Reflist))? Why? It's horrible. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:38, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

for over ten years that might alter its behaviour in this manner. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:18, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
I'm finding that |group=
doesn't work as documented. See, e.g. this edit in which I put four accessibility- and mobile-related ((efn))
footnotes into ((efn|group=A|1=...))
form with a corresponding ((notelist|group=A))
to group them, and it failed. They continued to appear in the main ((notelist))
output. I ended up have to self-revert that aspect of the edit (which included a lot of other cleanup); this partial-revert diff will make the exact changes in question clearer. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 05:40, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

I would add an additional reference to note b, that provides a link to a primary source document confirming the article's subject's birthdate. It is a reference to a 1901 Canadian Census page. The 1901 census asked for a full date of birth. The census page states the subject's birthdate as June 23, 1884. I have not edited for several years. I am not familiar with the new protocols for editing. The following is the suggested addition to the note:
"Reference: RG31 - Statistics Canada; Item No. 3268977; Microfilm:T-6490". Library and Archives Canada. Retrieved Nov. 17, 2019.
The URL address for the document is: https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/1901/Pages/item.aspx?itemid=3268977. The Web page uses an incorrect surname for indexing. It refers to "Sayles" when it should be "Taylor." It is an obvious transcription error if you look at the source document. I have posted a correction on-line to Library and Archives Canada, pointing out the error. The page has links to .jpg and .pdf versions of the census page.

((Notelist))
. Please make your request at the talk page for the article concerned. — JJMC89 (T·C) 00:15, 18 November 2019 (UTC)On User:Sr88/sandboxbrazil#Notes I have defined the notes in the notelist. However, there is a large gap between the notelist and the next sub-heading (References). Can this be removed or modified somehow? Sr88, talk. 17:42, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Cite error: A list-defined reference with the name "race" has been invoked, but is not defined in the <references>
tag (see the help page).
Cite error: A list-defined reference with the name "race" has been invoked, but is not defined in the <references>
tag (see the help page).
I wanted to use the |refs=
to keep the text more readable, but when I add more than one explanatory note that contains a citations to such a list, I get cite errors saying "A list-defined reference names ... is not defined in the content". However, I do define these citations in the content. Please see example in James Hamilton (English army officer) or Alexander MacDonnell, 3rd Earl of Antrim. What I am doing wrong?

((Reflist))
. Besides, despite the errors, the references seem to be displayed correctly. With many thanks and best regards, Johannes Schade (talk) 09:31, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
((Notelist|refs=
((efn|name=zh-name|((zh|s=赵婷|t=趙婷|p=Zhào Tíng))))
((efn|name=nationality|Zhao's nationality is unclear, but media including [[Disney]] and the [[Communist Party of China]]'s ''[[Global Times]]'' report that her nationality is Chinese.<ref>((cite news ...))</ref><ref>((cite web ... ))</ref>))
))
((efn))
is fine (although unnecessary), but the second is not because it contains <ref>...</ref>
tags - two pairs to be exact. The MediaWiki parser is being presented with at least three levels of processing, and gives up after two, hence the red error message. You need to get that second ((efn))
out of the notelist, and put it in the actual place in the text where it is used. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 00:16, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
