{{Notice|As of [[Special:Diff/724648585|June 10, 2016]], a rule has been added to MediaWiki:Common.css, so now {{tag|small|o}} consistently renders at a 85% size. This template remains as a convenience wrapper.}}
{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Small/styles.css}}

== Usage ==
This template is a replacement for {{tag|small}}.

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 <code>=</code> character appears in the content, the parameter must be explicitly specified as {{para|1}}.

Do not use this template to wrap multiple lines; doing so will cause [[Special:LintErrors|Linter]] errors. If you need to wrap multiple list items or multiple paragraphs, use {{tl|smalldiv}} around the entire block, or wrap each list item or paragraph separately.
