Discussion

• Support after trial; simple enough. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 13:18, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

BU Rob13 since reflist is autoshown to the pages without it, this page won't change the viual outcome. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:25, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

• That's unlikely. I assume you're adding a "References" heading, which would not show without your edit. If this is not the case, that would become obvious on trial, at which point I would voice concerns. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 13:30, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
  • Only reflist template with no references heading. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:43, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Denied. No consensus demonstrated for just adding a {{reflist}} without also adding the "References" heading in the appropriate location in the page. Furthermore, I find flooding WP:BRFA with 20 requests all at once is probably bordering on WP:POINT: I suggest you limit yourself to fewer than 5 open requests at a time so you can more easily express yourself clearly and so you and the community can have time for necessary discussion.
