TOC alteration that turns it into a full page width but multiple columns
I usually go to the IRC chat for this sort of thing but people there were unsure and directed me to here... I think this would be where I ask about this sort of thing... right? Anyways what I would want it to do is to split all the contents it is a table of into three columns that fits to the width of the page felinoel  ~  (Talk)  17:17, July 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Is this TOC a general one (generated from normal (random) headings) or one for data that has a 'standard' structure, e.g A B C .. Y Z, Months, Years etc ?


 * There are a number of Templates on Wikipedis for creating the 2nd type that could be adapted - here or have you seen something on another wiki like you describe ? I've never seen a 3 col TOC for random data. ?? - BulldozerD11 21:01, July 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ummm I guess it is a general one? Yea never seeing a three column TOC is my problem lol felinoel  ~  (Talk)  05:12, July 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sounds to me like it would need some a new 'function' creating then rather than a basic template, which can generate it from scratch and structure it inplace of the 'normal' TOC function. Perhaps one of the JS / MediaWiki developers can help then as it is not my field of knowledge ?? I dont think the standard TOC can be made to split into 3 colums by using wiki code unfortunately. (hopefuly somebody can prove me wrong !!)- BulldozerD11 11:57, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
