Minimalist table

C	D

Click "edit" to view the code for this table. I created this by copying code from Wikipedia's help section.

Transclusion

   Transclude target page, where "Pagename" is the target:
   x{x{Namespace:Pagename}x}x

(Remove each "x" to deploy template.)

   Note: subsequent pageloads of the page bearing this template will cause a tranclusion of the target page each time the current page is loaded. Changes made to the template are then automatically reflected on all pages into which that page has been transcluded (though a purge may sometimes be necessary).

To prevent deploying the template with every page load, use substitution, as below:

   Substitution (transclude once):
   x{x{subst:fullpagename}x}x

(Remove each "x" to deploy template.)

   Subsequent pageloads will not result in further transclusions of the target page.

For more on transclusion, see Wikipedia, Help:Transclusion

Example of table displaying userboxes

Example of a table

This one displays userboxes in two neat columns.

(Do not transclude the code on the ones that originated outside your own user space; it would call up the templates every time and might break if the designer changed the code).
