:Probably yes ;-) The question might be: is it "bug or feature"? What problem are you exactly talking of? [[User:Gero|Gero]] 18:03, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

::Well, you know how DPL can be called as a tag (<tt><nowiki><dpl>...</dpl></nowiki></tt>) or as a template (<tt><nowiki>{{#dpl:...}}</nowiki></tt>)? Well, using <tt>columns</tt> inside the DPL template causes the wiki table markup to show but fails to render as a table:

{{#dpl:
 +
resultsheader = %PAGES% pages:\n
 +
|category=African_Country
 +
|columns=3
 +
}}

Which, for some reason, renders like this on my wiki:<pre><nowiki>{|

Any reason why columns doesn't work right when used in a template? -—Eep² 13:40, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Probably yes ;-) The question might be: is it "bug or feature"? What problem are you exactly talking of? Gero 18:03, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
Well, you know how DPL can be called as a tag (<dpl>...</dpl>) or as a template ({{#dpl:...}})? Well, using columns inside the DPL template causes the wiki table markup to show but fails to render as a table:

7 pages:


Which, for some reason, renders like this on my wiki:
{|

|

    * Entry
    * Entry
    * Entry

|valign=top|

    * Entry
    * Entry
    * Entry

|valign=top|

    * Entry
    * Entry

|valign=top|

|}

But I haven't upgraded in a while so that might be the problem. -—Eep² 03:37, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
