Template:Div col#TemplateData gives plainlist as an example class but it has no effect after plainlist was removed from MediaWiki:Common.css in [1]. I think plainlist should work in |class=
or possibly a separate parameter like |plainlist=yes
. I used ((div col))((plainlist))...((endplainlist))((div col end))
in an article [2] but that's ugly and hard to figure out. PrimeHunter (talk) 15:30, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

to Template:Div col rather than adding the css to Template:Div col/styles.css? -- WOSlinker (talk) 21:41, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Under the Notable Persons area, the information for Bruce Bochy should be updated. He was, in past years, the MLB manager for the San Diego Padres and the San Francisco Giants. He is the current manager for the Texas Rangers. Davidjamesfraga (talk) 01:58, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
((Div col))
. Please make your request at the talk page for the article concerned. When doing so, please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 06:39, 19 May 2024 (UTC)There's a problem when {Div col} contains a [File:...] item providing a caption (as is usual) that I noticed in this article version (since worked around). At certain window sizes (in Chrome at least) the caption gets separated from the image itself. In the two-column version of that page (using "|right" placement), the caption can be widely separated from the image by intervening text flowing to the left of the caption and the right of the image. There are workarounds, but an editor has to know that the problem could occur even if their window width doesn't happen to show any problem. So, it seems like at a minimum the documentation for this template should call out the problem and potential solutions, or, better, the software should automatically avoid this problem with the [File:...] mechanism, either inside that mechanism or in this template mechanism. - R.

See what I did? There's a (({width|))}
in this version so that it can work with that param or "colwidth". This shouldn't break anything, but seeing as this is on 400,000 pages I want to run this by someone else for a sanity check first. Is this going to bust anything? jp×g🗯️ 21:02, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

template. I agree with Izno that |width=
could be confusing and might be useful later for an overall width of the column set. Generally we try to reduce the number of aliases for parameters, not increase them. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:34, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
