{{When on basepage|{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Columns/styles.css}}}}<br />
{{tl|Columns}} may be used to create up to ten columns across a page.<br />
<br />
{{caution banner|This template creates a [[Help:Tables|table]] rather than actual columns. This means that it may displays poorly on mobile devices or narrow screens and is sub-optimal in terms of [[WP:ACCESS|accessibility]]. Approximately half of the readers of English Wikipedia articles are using mobile devices and may have trouble reading the content that is wrapped in this template. Please consider using one of the CSS-based column templates listed in the {{Section link||See also}} section instead, or not using columns at all if there is any trouble affects page layout.}}<br />
<br />
== Syntax ==<br />
Values for ''col1'' and ''col2'', i.e. the contents of the first and second columns, are expected.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
{{Columns<br />
| background = <!-- Background (default is none) --><br />
| style = <!-- Use to add extra overall CSS styling --><br />
| colwidth = <!-- Width of each column (default 15.0em) --><br />
| gapbetween = <!-- Gap (gutter) between each column (default 1.25em) --><br />
| col1width = <!-- Use to set a custom width for col1 --><br />
| col1 = <!-- (REQUIRED) First column's contents --><br />
| col2width = <!-- Use to set a custom width for col2 (and so on) --><br />
| col2 = <!-- (REQUIRED) Second column's contents --><br />
| col3width = <br />
| col3 = <br />
...<br />
| col10width = <br />
| col10 = <br />
}}<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
The parameters &nbsp;''<code>colstyle</code>''&nbsp; and &nbsp;''<code>col1style</code>''&nbsp; to &nbsp;''<code>col10style</code>''&nbsp; may also be used to tailor all and/or individual columns' [[Wikipedia:CSS|CSS]] styling.<br />
