===Option 1: Default behaviour=== The default usage (without parameters) applies a style that reduces the text size of the bibliographies/reference list entries. This can be useful to make a long bibliography/list of references display more compactly, and it also mimics the formatting style applied to footnotes by the {{tl|reflist}} template. The {{tl|reflist}} formats footnotes—any text in the article body that is placed between {{tag|ref}} tags—that are auto-generated by the Cite.php extension, called by {{tl|reflist}}. In the case of articles using the [[Help:shortened footnotes]] referencing system, these footnotes will typically contain an abbreviated citation such as <code><nowiki><ref>Smith 2002, p.123</ref></nowiki></code> that corresponds with an entry in the bibliography/references list section (other text such as discursive notes may appear as well). The font size should reduce to 90% for most browsers, but may appear to show at 100% for Internet Explorer and possibly other browsers. Reflist and Refbegin use each one CSS entry in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] to set the font size: <pre> div.reflist, div.refbegin { font-size: 90%; } </pre> If the 'full' footnotes referencing system is used (i.e. there is no separate bibliography/references list, all cites/references are defined in {{tag|ref}} tags), then use {{tl|reflist}} alone: <pre> ==References== {{reflist}} </pre> If there is a bibliography/references list but no footnoted citations (e.g. in general references or parenthetical referencing systems) then use {{tl|refbegin}} and {{tl|refend}} like so: <pre> ==References== {{refbegin}} *general reference 1 *general reference 2 {{refend}} </pre> If there are footnoted citations and a separate bibliography/references list (i.e., the shortened footnotes system), then place {{tl|reflist}} to generate the footnotes in one section (immediately above the bibliography/references list), and use {{tl|refbegin}} in the latter section: <pre> ==Notes== {{reflist}} <!--this will auto-generate the numbered list of footnotes/cites --> ==References== {{refbegin}} *bibliography entry / reference 1 *bibliography entry / reference 2 *etc {{refend}} </pre>
