This is a simple template for creating four column list in instances where lists are extremely long, such as lists of doujins featuring a popular character.  It uses eight fields (note that more may be added later), two of which are optional. Note that these are case sensative.
*'''width''' - The width of the table. Can be in pixels (written 100px), or more probably a percent (writen 80%). Wider tables are probably better with this template; otherwise, use the  [[Template:TwoColumnList|two column list template]]. If left blank, it will default to 100%.
*'''background''' - the background color. if left blank, it will default to transparent.
*'''align''' - how the table will align in the page, left, right or center.  If left blank, the template will default to center
*'''header''' - the template's header.  if left blank, it won't have one.
*'''Coll''' - the data for column 1.
*'''Col2''' - the data for column 2.
*'''Col3''' - the data for column 3.
*'''Col4''' - the data for column 4.
*'''footer''' - the template's footer.  if left blank, it won't have one.

<!-- These are options yet to be implemented.
 *'''cellBorder''' - the width of the borders of the individual cells.  if left blank, it will default to 0 (no border)
 *'''cellBorderStyle''' - how the borders of the individual cells are drawn, for example solid, dashed or dotted. if left blank, will default to solid.
 *'''cellBorderColor''' - the color of the borders of the individual cells.  if left blank, it will default to dimgray, the board default.
 *'''border''' - the width of the templates border. if left blank, it will default to 0 (no border)
 *'''borderStyle''' - how the border is drawn, for example solid, dashed or dotted. if left blank, will default to solid.
 *'''borderColor''' - the color of the border.  if left blank, it will default to dimgray, the board default.

The code to put into the article is 
<pre>
{{FourColumnList
|width=
|align=
|header=
|Col1=
|Col2=
|Col3=
|Col4=
|footer=
}}
</pre>

Just about anything can be put into Col1, Col2 and Col3, using normal wiki markups, ect. Note that unless you are using list codes such as * or #, that you will need to use the <nowiki><BR></nowiki> code for each line break within columns. 

For example, 
<pre>
{{FourColumnList|width=90%|align=center
|Col1=*Bullet
*Bullet
|Col2=These will 
be on the same line
|Col3=These will <BR>
be on seperate lines
|Col4=This has four columns}}
</pre>

Will yield

{{FourColumnList|width=90%|align=center
|Col1=*Bullet
*Bullet
|Col2=These will be
on the same line
|Col3=These will be <BR>
on seperate lines
|Col4=This has four columns}}
