Description
This template is used to create a dynamic grid layout on the main page using wiki.gg's Improved Main Page (IMP) framework, initiated with Module:Main page to then present with Template:Main page box header-body content containers.
The layout is made using keywords arranged in a grid. This grid has 3 columns on desktop-width screens, 2 columns on tablet, and 1 on mobile. Each can have as many rows as you want. Each keyword represents the same section and can span multiple rows and/or columns, but must form a contiguous rectangle of any dimension (1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x3, etc.).


For example, the following input to desktop would produce a grid resembling the table following.

welcome welcome welcome
external external about
contribute contribute about
Where welcome is the contents of Geometry Dash Expanded Wiki/welcome, about is the contents of Geometry Dash Expanded Wiki/about, and so on. See Template:Main page box for more information about creating your own boxes.

If you enter a keyword that does not have a corresponding box already, you'll be prompted to create one when saving or previewing the page.

If you leave a keyword out of a certain layout, it will not be displayed on that layout. A warning will be given at the top of the edit preview in case this was an accident, but can be safely ignored if intentional.

For additional hints and information, see the comments that came on your main page or ask a wiki.gg staff member for help.

Technical explanation

For the CSS savvy, this section explains how it works a bit under the hood.

The input to desktop, tablet, and mobile create CSS variables which are then used as the value of grid-template-areas in media queries for screen widths >=1350px, >=990px, and <990px. The boxes are given an id based on their subpage name, which is then used by the module to find the template, as well as by the box templates to assign them a CSS id of mp-box-<keyword>. Since these keywords are used directly in the grid layout, they must follow the rules of <custom-ident> naming.

Syntax
{{Main page
 |desktop = (required) [requires 3 main page box titles per line]
 |tablet  = (required) [requires 2 main page box titles per line]
 |mobile  = (required) [requires 1 main page box titles per line]
}}
Sample
{{Main page
 |desktop =
welcome welcome welcome
about about links
contribute contribute links
 |tablet =
welcome welcome
about links
contribute contribute
 |mobile =
welcome
about
contribute
links
}}
Sample output
