This set of main page <tags/> allows for easier main page design and is the recommended method of creating layouts for desktop main pages.
Using the following tags, you can create a main page that will work with Fandom ads and will be compatible with future changes Fandom may need to make to the main page layouts.
<mainpage-leftcolumn-start />
content in the left column
<mainpage-endcolumn />
<mainpage-rightcolumn-start />
content in the right column
<mainpage-endcolumn />
How to use the tags
The "leftcolumn" tag starts the fluid width left column, and comes first:
<mainpage-leftcolumn-start />
The left column is ended by:
<mainpage-endcolumn />
Next, the following starts a 300px wide right column:
<mainpage-rightcolumn-start />
The right column is also ended by:
<mainpage-endcolumn />
After the end of the right column tag, you can place anything you wish, and make it 100% of the page's width. However, note that this is generally recommended against, especially on shorter pages. You will need to add the following to ensure it appears below the columns:
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
Examples
