Help:Main page column tags

 I am a box in the left column, currently set to 100 pixels tall.

Your wiki's title and welcome message could go here, or a cool title image. (The box is optional.)  I am a sentence in the left column. I am a box containing content in the left column.

What are these columns about?
With the introduction of the new Monaco design, we are releasing a set of main page  to aid with main page design.

Using the following tags, you can create a main page that will work with the new ads and will be compatible with any future changes Wikia may need to make to the main page layouts.

 I am the left column



 I am the right column



How to use the tags
The "leftcolumn" tag starts the left column, and comes first:



The default gutter (spacing) between the left and right column is 10px - however, you can alter this using a "gutter" parameter:



This produces a 20px gutter between the left and right columns.

A column is ended by:



Next, the following starts a 300px wide right column:



Again, the column is ended by:



After the end of the rightcolumn tag you can place anything you wish, and make them 100% page width. (Please note this is recommended against, especially on shorter pages.) However, you will need to add a clear to ensure it appears below the columns. You can do this by either making the next element clear, or add the following between the column end and the next line:







I am a 300x250px box in the right column.

Wikia's ad will go here.

I am a sentence in the right column.

I am a very long sentence in a box with a height of 500px in the right column.

Any sort of wiki content could go here -- a featured article or picture, a list of popular categories, an embedded widget, a video or poll or calendar -- anything you like.





 I follow the last main page tag, and have a width of 100%.
