In this example, the scope attribute defines what the headers describe, column or row, which screen readers use. You can add a table using HTML rather than wiki markup, as described at HTML element#Tables. However, HTML tables are discouraged because wikitables are easier to customize and maintain, as described at manual of style on tables.
the basic code for a table row; code for color, alignment, and sorting mode; fixed texts such as units; special formats for sorting; In such a case, it can be useful to create a template that produces the syntax for a table row, with the data as parameters. This can have many advantages: easily changing the order of columns, or removing a column
The easiest way to insert a new table is to use the editing toolbar that appears when you edit a page (see image above). Clicking the button will open a dialog where you define what you want in your new table. Once you've chosen the number of rows and columns, the wiki markup text for the table is inserted into the article.
The two most commonly used classes are "wikitable" and "wikitable sortable"; the latter allows the reader to sort the table by clicking on the header cell of any column. |+ caption Required for accessibility purposes on data tables, and placed only between the table start and the first table row. ! header cell Optional.
Tables are ideal for presenting information in a row-and-column format. You create Wikipedia tables using wiki markup, which begins with "{|" and ends with "|}". Since you'll edit tables much more often than create them, this section begins with editing. (To see how to create a wikicode table, skip to the section about creating tables.)
Here below is a fast way to link the regions and subregions in those columns. For example, after updating the whole table from the source. See example in this sandbox. The following assumes the syntax is a whole table row in one source line starting with a pipe and with double pipe between cells.
Edit-tricks are most useful when multiple tables must be changed, then the time needed to develop complex edit-patterns can be applied to each table. For each table, insert an alpha-prefix on each column (making each row-token "|-" to sort as column zero, like prefix "Row124col00"), then sort into a new file, and then de-prefix the column entries.
mw-collapsible also does not require a header row in the table, as collapsible did. Tables will show the "[hide]" / "[show]" controls in the first row of the table (whether or not it is a header row), unless a table caption is present.(see § Tables with captions) Example with a header row
