Help talk:Main page column tags

Width
Is there a way to set the width of the tags, e.g. " "? Thanks --Tingeltangelbob - (+blablahospital) 18:16, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, there is not. The purpose of these tags is to define a left (variable width) area, and a right (300px wide) area. If the box ads are enabled by our advertisement system, the 300x250 box ad will be inserted into the top of the page pushing everything down, or if it detects the column tags, it will put the ad inside the right column, so that only the contents of the right column slides down (not effecting anything in the left area. --Uberfuzzy 07:15, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Extension?
Is this an extension of some sort, available for customization of personal projects? I ask, because I cannot figure out how in the world to show columns side by side like every single wiki I ever visit does, but the codes wont work for me. Are there alternatives for side by side panels/columns/whatever one wants to call them, aside from this code? --Terran Officer 01:27, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is an extension http://trac.wikia-code.com/browser/wikia/trunk/extensions/wikia/MainPageTag/MainPageTag.php --Uberfuzzy 04:09, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
