 | This template is used on approximately 1,020,000 pages, or roughly 13883% 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. |
 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
 | 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 sesa
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 reference sections.", per MOS:ACCESS#Font size and MOS:SMALLFONT. Use of this template within an infobox produces 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:
| input | shows |
|---|---|
What a wonderful world
|
What a wonderful world |
{{small|What a wonderful world}}
|
What a wonderful world |
{{small|1=3 + 2 = 5}}
|
3 + 2 = 5 |
{{small|1=103}}
{{small|1=+ 2}}
——
{{small|1=105}}
|
103
+ 2 —— 105 |
Don't do this:
{{small|
*One
*Two
*Three}}
Do this instead:
{{smalldiv|
*One
*Two
*Three}}
