Template usage
I am going to add some of the other features to the reflist template/doc. --KnightMiner (talk 02:38, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Group parameter
Would it be worthwile to add the name parameter of the references tag? It is used frequently enough on this wiki as notes. --KnightMiner  (t 15:33, 17 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Just noticed my typo, I meant the group tag. --KnightMiner  (t 14:23, 2 July 2014 (UTC)


 * So, I've implemented a version of the code in my sandbox that allows the "group" parameter of . It can be seen --KnightMiner  (t 20:49, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

mobile view
Is it possible to get reflist to ignore the multiple-column argument and default to 1 column, in the case of browsing in mobile mode? – Sealbudsman (Aaron) t/c 15:26, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Mobile view doesn't chane the arrangement. What's the problem? 71.212.10.80 16:15, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Whenever it's 2 or more columns, they're necessarily very narrow columns, so each reference wraps like 6 or 7 times. – Sealbudsman (Aaron) SealbudsmanFace.png t/c 16:26, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't see a problem with that. Also this template already does default to 1. 71.212.10.80 22:15, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Well I didn't mean default to 1, I meant that in mobile mode it would always override the argument and make it 1 column. The problem is just that having 2+ columns is a good design solution for desktops and situations with an abundance of horizontal space, but degrades in readability in situations where the page is only like 20 to 24em across. Apologies if I'm repeating myself. I only tried to elaborate because I guessed I wasn't clear. – Sealbudsman (Aaron) SealbudsmanFace.png t/c 02:05, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * , but I don't know how that would be done. 71.212.10.80 02:52, 5 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Could be easily done using a forced style in MediaWiki:Mobile.css. Just need to add a class to this template.
 * It instead may be better though to do what Wikipedia:Template:Reflist does and wrap based on width, rather then a global column wrap, as that would also be the case on small screens, and large screens may have a lot of extra space. – KnightMiner  t/c 03:40, 5 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I like the width-based approach, since it doesn’t require special code for phones. Wikipedia has actually deprecated use of the fixed-columns system due to its lack of flexibility, so I think we can change as well. — Orthotopetalk 05:32, 5 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I like width-based too. More resources: wikipedia discussion on number of columns, wikipedia column-width test cases. I personally gravitate toward having no parameter, and hard-code at 30em width. Because is there really a need for flexibility that differs page-to-page? – Sealbudsman (Aaron) SealbudsmanFace.png t/c 14:45, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
