Long lists of references (created with <code class="mw-highlight" style="white-space:nowrap"><span class="p">‎<</span><span class="nt">ref</span><span class="p">></span></code> tags; they are also called <i>citations</i> or <i>footnotes</i> at some wikis) will automatically be displayed in columns. The number of columns will be determined by the width of each reader's screen. This will improve <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/accessibility" title="Special:MyLanguage/accessibility">Accessibility</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Accessibility" title="Accessibility"> </a></span> and make it easier for most people to read the references, especially on narrow or very wide screens. Short lists of references will not be affected. </p><p>Use the normal <code class="mw-highlight" style="white-space:nowrap"><span class="p">‎<</span><span class="nt">references</span> <span class="p">/></span></code> tag on any page with many references to see this feature on any wiki where the feature has been enabled. If you do not want columns used on that page, then use this wikitext code instead: <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-html mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">references</span> <span class="na">responsive</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">"0"</span> <span class="p">/></span></code>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Schedule" data-mw-thread-id="h-Schedule"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Schedule"></span>Schedule<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Schedule"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Contributors/Projects/Columns_for_references&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Schedule"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The server-side software will change on the <a href="/wiki/Deployment_Train" class="mw-redirect mw-disambig" title="Deployment Train">normal deployment train</a> during the week of 14 March 2017.

With the feature enabled by default, any list with more than 10 references will also get the class <code>mw-references-columns</code>. In this mode, the references list is automatically split over multiple columns based on the available space on the screen. E.g. on narrow screens 1 or 2 columns, on wider screens 2 or 3. Given that this happens automatically, it is no longer necessary for editors to manually enable/disable the columns mode of a template. </p><p>Remember also that other customisations for the references list are best applied directly to the <code>ol.references</code> CSS selector in your wikis' MediaWiki:Common.css. Many wikis customise the font-size this way, for example. (No need to manually code it through a template). In case a DIV wrapper is needed for certain styles, the <code>.mw-references-wrap</code> CSS selector will apply to all references lists produced by <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-html mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">references</span> <span class="na">responsive</span> <span class="p">/></span></code> regardless of whether the columns were dynamically activated. </p><p>For compatibility with fixed-column layout, you can have the reflist and refhead templates make sure responsive mode is turned off with <code>responsive=0</code> when a fixed number of columns is specified. You may also want edit relevant layout rules in your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css to only match <code>ol.references</code> elements without a wrapping <code>.mw-references-wrap</code> parent in order to avoid repeated definitions of multi-column layout. This can be done in the CSS using e.g. a direct descendant <code>></code> operator. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Requesting_this_feature" data-mw-thread-id="h-Requesting_this_feature"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Requesting_this_feature"></span>Requesting this feature<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Requesting_this_feature"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Contributors/Projects/Columns_for_references&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Requesting this feature"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>To request that this feature be enabled at your local wiki, please file a <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Phabricator" title="Special:MyLanguage/Phabricator">Phabricator</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Phabricator" title="Phabricator"> </a></span> task by filling in <a class="external text" href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=Cite,VisualEditor,Wikimedia-Site-requests&title=Convert%20reference%20lists%20over%20to%20`responsive`%20on%20XXwiki&priority=10&parent=159895">this pre-formatted Phabricator task</a>. </p><p>Alternatively, leave a message on the talk page.
