{{ editprotected}} Please replace entire thing with:
<span style="font-size:smaller; line-height:130%">{{{1}}}</span><noinclude> <!--Categories and interwikis go in the /doc sub-page.--> {{Documentation}} </noinclude>
And use the {{ Documentation}} link that appears after saving to create the doc page. It should include the text:
==Usage== This template makes the font smaller. It takes one parameter: The text to shrink. The parameter 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 text, the parameter must be explicitly specified as {{para|1}}: :{{tlx|small|1=3 + 2 = 5}}
no "See also" section, and the following in the <includeonly>...</includeonly>
section:
<!--Categories:--> [[Category:Wikipedia formatting and function templates|{{PAGENAME}}]] <!--Interwikis:--> [[ja:Template:Small]] [[uk:Шаблон:Small]]
This change will actually use XHTML and CSS properly, and install a /doc page so that there is some documentation, and so no more editprotecteds are needed for doc editing, categorization and interwikiing. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ cont] ‹(-¿-)› 09:57, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
We already have the wikimarkup tag <small> for small text. So, can anyone explain why this template is needed? Here's two code examples and what they render:
{{small|David testing some text.}} <small>David testing some text.</small>
David testing some text.
David testing some text.
In my browser the two text lines get the same size.
-- David Göthberg ( talk) 02:41, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Apparently only Firefox shows them differently? (As per the comment below). But FF shows <small> as much smaller than the {{small}} tag. It is said that the template tag exists to make uniformity across platforms and browsers possible. The result however is that e.g. SineBot will use <small> which means that if you use {{small}} for your own stuff (not only does it look too big I believe in Firefox (but that is relative, perhaps)) you will get a different size and to get uniformity even in your own browser you must then also use <small> or start specifying sizes each time with {{resize}}, which seems a better choice. To avoid being surprised by other kinds of changes. — Dryden xx2 ( talk) 22:40, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

I saw a mistake that the small template actually makes the text large, so an administrator needs to make the text small because I can't edit the protected template. BlueEarth ( talk | contribs) 00:49, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

implemented in MediaWiki:Common.css, so it is redundant here now.

While the documentation states that this template is a replacement for <small>...</small>
, it in fact does use <small>...</small>
, which doesn't work on Android devices. Therefore I request that this be replaced by <span style="font-size:85%;">{{{1}}}</span>
, similarly to what was done at the {{
big}} template (using 120%), which states that <big>...</big>
is obsolete (and BTW doesn't work on Android either).

MOS:ACCESS says not to use {{ small}} inside infoboxes. Is there any chance we could we get a tracking Category for that? i.e. all the uses of small inside the scope of Infobox.
Also while I'm here I should mention that Project Comics seems to deliberately ignore MOS:ACCESS and frequently uses {{ small}} within in the Infobox title for character articles, Batman being a fairly clear example. -- 109.76.147.128 ( talk) 17:07, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
