{{Columns}} may be used to create up to ten columns across a page.
 | This template creates a table rather than actual columns. This means that it displays poorly on mobile devices or narrow screens and is sub-optimal in terms of 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 § See also section instead, or not using columns at all. |
Co-chàradh - Syntax
Values for col1 and col2, i.e. the contents of the first and second columns, are expected.
{{Columns
| background = <!-- Background (default is none) -->
| style = <!-- Use to add extra overall CSS styling -->
| colwidth = <!-- Width of each column (default 15.0em) -->
| gapbetween = <!-- Gap (gutter) between each column (default 1.25em) -->
| col1width = <!-- Use to set a custom width for col1 -->
| col1 = <!-- (REQUIRED) First column's contents -->
| col2width = <!-- Use to set a custom width for col2 (and so on) -->
| col2 = <!-- (REQUIRED) Second column's contents -->
| col3width =
| col3 =
...
| col10width =
| col10 =
}}
The parameters colstyle and col1style to col10style may also be used to tailor all and/or individual columns' CSS styling.

Column-generating template families
| The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{Col-float}} with {{Col-end}} instead of {{Col-float-end}} would leave a HTML "div" (division) open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting. |
| Family | Type | Handles wiki
table code?  |
Responsive/ Mobile suited |
Start template | Column divider | End template |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| "Col" | Table | Yes | No | {{Col-begin}}, {{Col-begin-fixed}} or {{Col-begin-small}} |
{{Col-break}} or {{Col-2}} .. {{Col-5}} |
{{Col-end}} |
| "Col-float" | CSS float | Yes | Yes | {{Col-float}} | {{Col-float-break}} | {{Col-float-end}} |
| "Columns" | Table | No | No | {{Columns}} | – | – |
| "Columns-list" | CSS columns | Yes | Yes | {{Columns-list}} (wrapper) | – | – |
| "Columns-start" | CSS float | Yes | Yes | {{Columns-start}} | {{Column}} | {{Columns-end}} |
| "Flex columns" | CSS flexbox | Yes | Yes | {{Flex columns}} | – | – |
| "Div Col" | CSS columns | Yes | Yes | {{Div Col}} | – | {{Div Col end}} |
I.e., can the columns handle the Wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}}) or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.) will need to be used instead.
