title: Is it possible to create a mediawiki table where the columns are filled in by multiple templates?
body: <p><a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/example_row_template" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wikimedia explains how you can create a table</a> based on multiple templates, where each row is formed from a single template.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anyway to do the same for columns? It sounds easy but I could not get it to work. Instead my page displayed multiple tables instead of multiple columns.</p>
  
  <p>Here's some code:<br>
  <strong>Row page</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>{|class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size:85%"
  |+ table name
  ! Title 1
  ! Title 2
  ! Title 3
  |-
  {{R1}}
  {{R2}}
  {{R3}}
  |}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Row template:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>| Row 1, Column 1
  | Row 1, Column 2
  | Row 1, Column 3
  |-
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Column page</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>{{C1}}{{C2}}{{C3}}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Column template:</strong>
  Don't know how this should work. </p>
