it would be very useful to be able to specify the number of columns in the output table when using Special:PrefixIndex and looking at the code, this seems to be a trivial addition. I can provide a patch if there's interest. To support something like this: {{Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/|columns=2}} Thanks
Please do provide such a patch; it would indeed be useful.
I submitted the patch as a pull request on github: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core/pull/18

As you can also add the parameter while viewing the special page directly (I personally wouldn't create a extra input field for this), you should also add it to the "next page"-query if not default, so it will be honored on the next page as well (the query should be around line 270) If you have time, you may want to create an developer account and participate directly at the patch, which is now submitted in our code review system gerrit. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Getting_started for more information or ask here
I uploaded a new patchset fixing the query as well. Thank you
any update on this?
