approximately 309,000 pages, or roughly 1% 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. |
Columns are not supported by some older browsers, most notably Internet Explorer 9 and earlier and Opera 11.0 and earlier. See Template:Reflist § Browser support for columns for more information. |

The template {{div col}} (short for division columns) formats a list into columns that wrap at multiple screen resolutions responsively. It automatically breaks the available screen space into equal parts, meaning, for instance, that it is not necessary to guess how many columns to use and then figure out the dividing point(s), e.g., the halfway point to divide the list into two columns, or the one-third and two-thirds points to divide the list into three columns. To prevent a section of a list being broken, the template {{ No col break}} can be used.

The underlying CSS system is unable to break sub-lists into columns. Note the uneven formatting below:
{{div col|colwidth=10em|rules=yes|gap=2em|style=column-count:3|content=

TemplateData for Div col end
Ends a multi-column list started by {{div col}}. It takes no parameters.
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{
col-float}} with {{
col-end}} instead of {{
col-float-end}} would leave a <

open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.
