Hi,

I have a MediaWiki installation and pages listed on a category, and when I access the category it displays "Pages in category x" and then a 3-column list of pages. What I want is to change the column count to 1 or 2. Is there a way to do this?

Live example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikis (it has 3 columns)
