I hope this is the appropriate forum for such questions.
I installed MediaWiki 1.9.3 this last week. Our hosted server is running PHP
5.1.6 and MySql 5.0.27. Extensions installed so far: Cite, Inputbox, and
now ParserFunctions.
After seeing the Multicol template at work in the Wikipedia tutorial.* I
thought I'd like to add it. Copied: Multicol, Multicol-break, and
Multicol-end. What I don't understand is the variable within the template
that reads like {{{1:20px}}}. Can somebody explain what that is? With it
in I get 3 broken </div> tags. With that entry replaced by just the value
the template works. Is it calling another template?
Be kind to the newbie and use small words,
Thanks!
