Revising the design

This template is quite useful, but it should just be simpler. A big grey page-wide box at the bottom takes up more space than it saves by being collapsible. (who ever struggles if there's a few links at the very end of the page? Navboxes waste more space than them, always).

It only needs to do this -

References
1. Note 1.
2. Note 2.
3. Link 1.
4. Link 2.

And that's it. Just auto-included header and then a list aligned to left.

At the moment it says "References" twice - both as a header and the table title - which is unnecessary. And it just doesn't need to be a table (unless there's strong technical reason?).

Just a simple list that ties to the cite tags in the text should be plenty enough. Cvoxalury (talk) 02:39, 17 July 2024 (PDT)
