تعديل قالب:بداية المراجع/شرح (قسم)

=== Option 1: Text size (default behaviour) ===
The default usage (without parameters) applies a style that reduces the text size of the bibliographies/reference list entries. This can be useful to make a long bibliography/list of references display more compactly, and it also mimics the formatting style applied to [[مساعدة:هوامش الصفحات]] by the {{قا|مراجع}} template.

The {{قا|مراجع}} formats footnotes—any text in the article body that is placed between {{وسم في النسق|ref}} tags—that are auto-generated by the [[ويكيبيديا:Cite.php|cite.php]] extension, called by {{قا|مراجع}}. In the case of articles using the [[ويكيبيديا:الاستشهاد بمصادر]] referencing system, these footnotes will typically contain an abbreviated citation such as <tt><nowiki><ref>Smith 2002, p.123</ref></nowiki></tt> that corresponds with an entry in the bibliography/references list section (other text such as discursive notes may appear as well).

The font size should reduce to 90% for most browsers, but may appear to show at 100% for Internet Explorer and possibly other browsers. Reflist and Refbegin use each one CSS entry in [[ميدياويكي:Common.css]] to set the font size:
<pre>
div.reflist,
div.refbegin {
 font-size: 90%;
}
</pre>

Editors may over-ride this setting by placing entries in their personal CSS.

If the 'full' footnotes referencing system is used (i.e. there is no separate bibliography/references list, all cites/references are defined in {{وسم في النسق|ref}} tags), then use {{قا|مراجع}} alone:
<pre>
== مراجع ==
{{مراجع}}
</pre>

If there is a bibliography/references list but no footnoted citations (e.g. in general references or parenthetical referencing systems) then use {{قا|بداية المراجع}} and {{قا|نهاية المراجع}} like so:

<pre>
== مراجع ==
{{بداية المراجع}}
* general reference 1
* general reference 2
{{نهاية المراجع}}
</pre>

If there are footnoted citations and a separate bibliography/references list (i.e., the [[ويكيبيديا:الاستشهاد بمصادر]] system), then place {{قا|مراجع}} to generate the footnotes in one section (immediately above the bibliography/references list), and use {{قا|بداية المراجع}} in the latter section:

<pre>
== ملاحظات ==
{{مراجع}} <!--this will auto-generate the numbered list of footnotes/cites --> 

== مراجع ==
{{بداية المراجع}}
* bibliography entry / reference 1
* bibliography entry / reference 2
* etc
{{نهاية المراجع}}
</pre>
