Editing Template:Reflist/doc (section)

==Perennial suggestions==
'''Collapsing and scrolling'''

There have been a number of requests to add functionality for a collapsible or [[WP:SCROLLING|scrolling]] reference list. These requests have not been fulfilled due to issues with readability, accessibility, and printing. The applicable guidelines are at [[MOS:SCROLL]]. Links between the inline cite and the reference list do not work when the reference list is enclosed in a collapsed box.

To display the reference list in a scrollbox or collapsed per user, see [[Help:Reference display customization]].

For discussion on previous attempts to do this with a template, see the discussions for [[Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 June 11#Template:Scrollref|Scrollref]] and [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2010 May 26#Template:Refbox|Refbox]].

'''Including the section title'''

There have been suggestions to include section header markup such as <code>==References==</code>. This is inadvisable because:
* There is no standard section name {{crossreference|(see {{section link|WP:Manual of Style/Layout|Notes and references}})}}.
* When transcluded, the article will have an edit link that will confusingly open the template for editing.
