Forum:Reflist font size

This concerns Fairy Tail wikia.

I recently added the Template:Reflist to the site which I initially copied from another wikia then I copied Wikipedia's. However, on FT wikia the references are seen in normal font size whilst on Wikipedia and other wikias they are in font size 1.5, I believe, which I would prefer. I directly copied the source code from Wikipedia and when I use the template on Wiki it goes to that small font. I have no idea what's wrong... (albeit I tried amateurishly tweaking to make it work but it's back to a direct copy from Wikipedia now). Dalyup! 12:51, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * In MediaWiki:Common.css, add:

/* Small reference list */ ol.references { font-size: 100%; }

.references-small { font-size: 90%;}
 * Additionally, if you want the blue highlight:

/* Highlight clicked reference in blue to help navigation */ ol.references > li:target { background-color: #DEF; } --D. (talk · contr) 15:08, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I dunno what that is. Do you have to be an admin or sysop to see it? Dalyup! 16:51, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Not to see it but yes you have to to edit it. — TulipVorlax 20:46, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Personal customization alternatives
For someone without admin/sysop access it is handy to know about the following personal customization files. You can test your idea for the wiki using your personal customization file and then post the exact code that you want an admin to add to the wiki communities site MediaWiki message after you've debugged it.

!width=20%| Purpose !width=10%| Skin !width=30%| Site-wide !width=30%| Personal !rowspan=3| CSS (style) !rowspan=3| Javascript (behaviour) !rowspan=3| Sidebar navigation !rowspan=1| Monaco toolbox links

There may be other customizations that I do not yet know about. If so, then please edit the above table because I think it is a useful reference for all and I don't recall seeing this all in one place before now. najevi 04:13, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
