| This template is used on
approximately 620,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all 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.

| As of
June 10, 2016
, a rule has been added to MediaWiki:Common.css, so now
<small>
consistently renders at size that is 85% of the surrounding text. This template remains as a convenience wrapper.
|
Usage
This template is a replacement for
<small>...</small>
.
Remember "Avoid using smaller font sizes in elements that already use a smaller font size, such as infoboxes, navboxes and references sections", per
MOS:ACCESS#Font size
and
MOS:SMALLFONT
. Using this template within an infobox would produce a font size 75% of the page default, well below the 85% minimum specified in the linked guidelines.
The only parameter is the content and may contain templates, images, etc. if a block needs to be wrapped in this template and contains such elements. Note that if the
=
character appears in the content, the parameter must be explicitly specified as
|1=
.
Do not use this template to wrap multiple lines; doing so will cause
Linter
errors. If you need to wrap multiple list items or multiple paragraphs, use
{{
smalldiv
}}
around the entire block, or wrap each list item or paragraph separately.
Thus
Good practice

{{small|What a wonderful world}}

What a wonderful world
|
{{small|1=3 + 2 = 5}}
|
3 + 2 = 5
|
{{
small

=

}}
{{

|

}}
??
{{

}}
|
103
+ 2
??
105

Don't do this
:
{{
small
|
*One
*Two
*Three
}}
Do this instead
:
{{
smalldiv
|
*One
*Two
*Three
}}
