This template is used for mos pages to automatically generate and list that mos's modes, along with the modes' [[UDP]]. It can also be used to display mode names, with supplementary information intended for footnotes, pronunciation guides, or alternate names.

==== Collapsing the table ====
==== Collapsing the table ====
The table can be collapsed by default by passing a "1" for the Collapsed parameter. This is recommended for pages with too much information (such as MOS scales with a very large number of modes).

==== Adding mode names ====
Names for each mode are separated by semicolons, as shown below. A mode may have multiple names (such as with 5L 3s) or a name consisting of multiple words (such as with the mode names described by Elaine Walker for 4L 5s <3/1>). The number of mode names must match the number of modes the mos has, or the column won't be added.

==== Adding multiple columns ====
==== Adding multiple columns ====
In situations where more than one column is needed, list the headers and entries as shown below. Entries are filled in by row. The two examples show mode names added in two ways – using Mode Names and Entries – so both examples produce the same table.
