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 <div>...</div> open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.

Column templates
Type Family Handles wiki
table code? 		Responsive/
mobile suited 		Start template Column divider End template
Float "col-float" Yes Yes {{col-float}} {{col-float-break}} {{col-float-end}}
"columns-start" Yes Yes {{columns-start}} {{column}} {{columns-end}}
Columns "div col" Yes Yes {{div col}} – {{div col end}}
"columns-list" No Yes {{columns-list}} (wraps div col) – –
Flexbox "flex columns" No Yes {{flex columns}} – –
Table "col" Yes No {{col-begin}},
{{col-begin-fixed}} or
{{col-begin-small}} 		{{col-break}} or
{{col-2}} .. {{col-5}} 		{{col-end}}

Can template handle the basic wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, special templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}})—or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.)—need to be used instead.

  • That sort of coatrack article is very problematic. People confuse "I can source this statement" with "This statement should be in this article". Or perhaps it's not really confusion. Always happy to eradicate such nonsense. Risker (talk) 22:38, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks for protecting it. I did wonder about doing that myself but it doesn't usually get that sort of vandalism so I had left it for the time being. Hopefully there won't be any more like that, if there is then I'll extend it to extended confirmed protection. The trouble is, he's the sort of person that's always going to attract vandalism.

Thanks again!-- 5 albert square (talk) 22:22, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps the advantage of not really knowing much about this guy allows me to take the 30,000-foot view. That kind of nonsense isn't okay, regardless of how much of a jerk an article subject may be - and refer back to sentence 1, I really don't know. Risker (talk) 22:40, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
It's not even that he's a jerk, it's because he's a talk show host with a past that includes things like a gambling problem. So now because he has a go at people on his talk show who have problems like gambling etc, people think he's a bit of a hypocrite and the guy really isn't that well liked, well not in the UK anyway.-- 5 albert square (talk) 23:04, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Heh

Heh, I assume you got what I meant by now, but just to be sure: I do have the system email enabled. I just have emails for pings and talk page messages disabled on en.wiki. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:37, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, the penny dropped after a few minutes - ironically when I opened my email and found a bunch of pings. Sorry about that! Risker (talk) 03:01, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
You good :) As I told another former arb a few weeks ago, I value our good working relationship, so I have no problem with ever being called out by you if I’m being dumb. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:42, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Template Deletion

@Risker: Hello there. Can you please recreate Template:Japanese episode list/sublist? There are still numerous articles that rely on using that subtemplate, and this is one of those articles that have pretty much been destroyed by the template deletion. At the very least, if the Japanese episode template shouldn't be recreated, then all of its functions and parameters should be fully merged into Template:Episode list/sublist (and probably redirected as well), and then every article currently employing the Japanese episode list/sublist template needs to be adjusted so that they use the "newer" template. Can you please restore the template or merge the two, so that the affected articles can work properly? Thanks. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 06:08, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi LightandDark2000 - this is now restored. Or at least I have pressed the right buttons. However there isn't much there, so I am not sure what additional pages may be affecting things. I'm almost inclined to revert the whole pile of deletions. Let me know what else you need, although I may not get to it for several hours. Risker (talk) 06:14, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
Can you please also restore the template's documentation page in the meantime? It would probably help effort with merging (and also understanding parameter functions) for that template. Thanks. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 06:46, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
Done, LightandDark2000. And now I really have to go to bed, but I'll check for messages when I arise. Risker (talk) 06:53, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
