The new aggressively-wide side margins in the default skin (Vector 2022) mean that on most monitors at 100% zoom reflist always renders as single column This is one of my greatest frustrations with the skin, and I don't think I'm alone (as @CJDOS: noted above) :).
While we continue to push for less enthusiastic sidebar width and padding, the default reflist column width could also be revised so that refs are two columns in some "standard browser size" configuration. Say a 1200px wide window, running the default skin, with sidebars open? I believe 25em would work. – SJ + 13:18, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
<references />
inherits the width from the skin's CSS? – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:47, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
list-style-type
thing, and .reflist-columns-2
/.reflist-columns-2
are for backwards-compatibility, but the rest don't seem to need to be there. SWinxy (talk) 23:43, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Phab ticket about this, please comment there: T347109 – SJ + 02:18, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
I use Vector 2022 with the sidebar, and I get two columns of references on both my PC and iPad. Out of curiosity I tried switching the iPad to portrait mode, and got a single column of references. Switching the ToC to the top menu with the Vector 2022 "hide" button gave me two references even in portrait mode. This strikes me as a more natural answer than changing global css. Is there some reason why those with monitors too narrow for two columns of references would not want to set Vector 2022 to have the ToC hidden in the top button?

You are invited to join the discussion at Help talk:Footnotes § List-defined references in the Visual Editor. Rjjiii(talk) 03:45, 22 September 2023 (UTC) If list-defined references work in Visual Editor only without this template, then it probably should not be used to create them.

Would it be feasible to display a message—probably something similar to ((no footnotes))—when a page has a ((Reflist)) template but no footnotes defined? This was briefly discussed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Unreferenced_articles#Empty references sections? (@Boleyn and Broc:) and I think also recently at one of the village pumps. – Joe (talk) 08:40, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
a list of references, related reading, or external links. Given that the only information you have is that that no footnotes are properly defined (there could even be an attempt at inline references, not using a <ref> tag), I think the most it could say would be something like:
Hi, I have noticed ((reflist|talkpage))
at Talk:Conway base 13 function (specifically, here: Special:permalink/1212662718#Almost everything maps to 0?). It seems to do similar thing to ((reflist-talk))
but without the 'References' title and a bordering frame. Could someone, please, describe the talkpage
parameter at the template's doc page? --CiaPan (talk) 08:41, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
talkpage
is not a number specifying number or width of columns, ((reflist))
simply ignores talkpage
and renders as it would in a mainspace article. Probably a typo.((reflist-talk))
there. --CiaPan (talk) 13:12, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
