This template is used on approximately 21,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Use this template instead of ((small)) or <small>...</small>
to wrap multiple lines of text, or to wrap a template that contains <div>...</div>
tags.
This template is a drop-in replacement for ((small)) templates or <small>...</small>
tags that wrap multiple lines or wrap a template containing <div>...</div>
tags. When a ((small)) template or <small>...</small>
tags wrap multiple lines, Linter errors are caused, typically "Missing end tag", "Misnested tag", or "Stripped tag".
The only parameter, |
, is the content that is intended to be rendered at a font size of 85% of normal.
Note that if the =
character appears in the content, it should be replaced with ((=)), or the content must be explicitly preceded with |1=
. See examples in the table below. Pages ignoring this instruction are likely to appear in Category:Pages using small with an empty input parameter (2).

Ichirō Hatoyama – 394 Nobusuke Kishi – 4 Others – 15 |
Example with = character in the content (error):((smalldiv|Ichirō Hatoyama = 394<br/>Nobusuke Kishi = 4<br/>''Others'' = 15))

(({1))}

Example with = character in the content using |1= :((smalldiv|1=Ichirō Hatoyama = 394<br/>Nobusuke Kishi = 4<br/>''Others'' = 15))
|
Ichirō Hatoyama = 394
Nobusuke Kishi = 4 Others = 15 |
Remember to "avoid using smaller font sizes in elements that already use a smaller font size, such as infoboxes, navboxes and reference sections", per MOS:ACCESS#Font size and MOS:SMALLFONT. Using this template within an infobox or a navbox reduces the text size to about 75%, which is smaller than the 85% limit prescribed by the MOS guideline.
