{{Ombox | type=notice | text = Columns are not supported by some older browsers, most notably Internet Explorer 9 and below and Opera 11.0 and below.}}

This [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] provides formatting and organizational features for [[w:Help:Footnotes|footnotes]]. It encapsulates the {{tag|references|s}} tag used by the [[cite.php]] MediaWiki extension to show the list of references as defined by {{tag|ref|o}} tags. It adds support for a reduced font size, columns, groups.

If you don't use any of the additional features, then it produces the same output as the simpler and slightly faster {{tag|references|s}} tag.

==Parameters==
* First unnamed parameter:
: column-count: a natural number specifying fixed columns into which the reference list is to be rendered. Example: <code>|2|</code>.
: column-width: a typographic unit of measurement such as ''em'', specifying the width for the reference list columns. Example: <code>|30em|</code>.
* '''refs''': used with named references (e.g., {{tag|ref|s|params=name=name}}); it specifies a list of some or all named references used in the article.
* '''group''': identifies by name the subset of references to be rendered; the value should correspond to that used inline, e.g., {{tlx|Reflist|2=group=groupname}} renders all references with groupname as the group name ({{tag|ref|o|paams=group=groupname}}).
* '''liststyle''': specifies the style used when the reference list is enumerated; if none is specified, the default is to render a numbered list.

==Example==
<pre>
Lorem.<ref>ipsum</ref><ref>dolor</ref><ref>sit</ref><ref>amet</ref>
Consectetur.<ref>adipisicing</ref><ref>elit, sed</ref><ref>do</ref>

{{Reflist|3}}
</pre>

gives:

Lorem.<ref>ipsum</ref><ref>dolor</ref><ref>sit</ref><ref>amet</ref>
Consectetur.<ref>adipisicing</ref><ref>elit, sed</ref><ref>do</ref>

{{Reflist|3}}
