Template:End/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:End.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 38,000 pages, so changes to it will be widely noticed. Please test any changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage[edit source]

This template ends any table (with bar-brace "|}") and may be used with any other templates that begin a one-level table, except with template {{Collapse top}} which requires a {{collapse bottom}} to end a collapsible text.

This template duplicates {{s-end}} for technical reasons. See the documentation on that page. Any succession template ending with {{end}} should be changed to {{s-end}}.

Position[edit source]

WARNING: Template {{end}} must be placed on a separate line for ending a table; otherwise, it inserts a literal bar-brace "|}" into the text.

Redirects[edit source]

Other "table end" templates redirect here.

Alternatively, this template may take a parameter, such as {{End|Cricket series}}, to indicate which table start template it matches (in the example given, {{Infobox cricket series begin}}). The parameter has no technical function.

Column-generating template families[edit source]

The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{col-float}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{col-float-end}} would leave a HTML "div" (division) open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.

Family	Type	Handles wiki table code?	Start template	Column divider	End template
"Col"	Table	Yes	{{Col-begin}}, {{Col-begin-fixed}} or {{Col-begin-small}}	{{Col-break}} or {{Col-2}} .. {{Col-5}}	{{Col-end}}
"Col-float"	CSS float	Yes	{{Col-float}}	{{Col-float-break}}	{{Col-float-end}}
"Columns"	Table	No	{{Columns}}	–	–
"Columns-list"	CSS columns	Yes	{{Columns-list}} (wrapper)	–	–
"Columns-start"	CSS float	Yes	{{Columns-start}}	{{Column}}	{{Columns-end}}
"Div col"	CSS columns	Yes	{{Div col}}	–	{{Div col end}}

I.e., can the columns handle the wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}}) and/or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.) will need to be used instead.<section end="table" />
