Template:Reflist-talk
References
| Warning | This template is used on approximately 105,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

This template is a version of {{Reflist}} designed for use outside of the article namespace, for example on talk pages. Like {{Reflist}}, it creates a list of all references that have been defined with <ref>...</ref> tags on the page above the template (but below any other instances of another reflist template). The list is displayed inside a bordered box with a title ("References" by default) that is not formatted as a section heading.
It is most useful when the list of references needs to appear close to the text where the references are used, for example at the end of a section or right after a quoted passage.
If using it at the end of a section, consider adding a hidden comment to help editors keep the wikitext in the correct place:
{{Reflist-talk}}<!-- Template:Reflist-talk creates a section-level reference list box. Please add comments and references for this section's discussion above this template. When a new discussion begins, the new section will be added below this template. Add a new {{Reflist-talk}} at the end of that section if needed. -->
If you want a collapsed version use {{Sources-talk}}, or use this redirect to it: {{Reflist-talk-collapsed}}.
Optional parameters
There are no required parameters. When using all parameters, the basic syntax is:
{{Reflist-talk|title=|colwidth=|group=|refs=}}
|title=specifies the box title, which defaults to References if this parameter is omitted. The box title will be blank if this parameter is included without an argument (that is, without any text after the equal sign).
The template recognizes these features of {{Reflist}}:
|colwidth=: state in ems, a typographic unit of measurement.|refs=: used with List-defined references.|group=: identifies by name the subset of references to be rendered; the value should correspond to that used inline, e.g.,{{Reflist-talk|group=groupname}}renders all references withgroupnameas the group name (<ref group=groupname>). There are five predefined group names that style the list differently, such aslower-alpha. See Reflist § Grouped references.
The template should be placed after the discussion that includes the references, as it will include all references before the template that haven't been claimed by a previous template.
Until 2014, the parameter
|close=1 was used to work around a bug. When the bug was fixed, this was removed.
Limitations
Do not indent this template
This template does not work correctly if indented with colons as is usual with talk page discussions.
Indenting also is unnecessary, because indentation is irrelevant to it: the reference box contains all the references from all posts in the section from all editors. Plus, it is set apart from other text through its own style, including a light, boxed outline. See this discussion for further details about this limitation.
Incorrectly boxed example
If you add : before it, the references do not appear inside the box as expected, but rather you get an indented empty dashed box, followed by the references, which are not indented:[1]
References
- ^ Incorrectly boxed example reference
Correctly boxed example
If this is fixed, the above example would display inside a correctly-indented box, which would look like the following: [1]
References
- ^ Correctly boxed example reference

Redirect from deleted template
{{Section references}} now redirects here to {{Reflist-talk}}. However, previously it was a different template that was deleted, with the existence of this template as part of the justification. See Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2015 March 2 § Template:Section references for details.
TemplateData
TemplateData for Reflist-talk
This template creates a list of references for a talk page discussion within a particular section.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Section title | title | The title to display before the references
| String | optional |
| Columns / Column width | colwidth 1 | Passed to {{reflist}}. Two modes supported. First mode (deprecated): integer number of fixed columns into which the reference list is to be rendered. Second mode: typographic unit of measurement such as 'em', specifying the width for the reference list columns, e.g. '33em'; spaced '33 em' will not be recognized
| String | optional |
| Group | group | Passed to {{reflist}}. Group is an identifier which restricts the references that are shown. Without this parameter, this template only shows references with no group identifier. With a group identifier specified, only references with a matching group identifier are handled. The rest are left alone. | String | optional |
| List of references | refs | Passed to {{reflist}}. Provides a space to define named references for use in the article. References defined in this space are not shown unless used somewhere in the article. | String | optional |
| Extra CSS | style | Additional CSS to apply | Unknown | optional |
