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 tagsEdit

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 them 100% page 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:

<br style="clear:both;"/>
