Wikipedia presents some of its information in tables, and, e.g., 3.5 million tables can be extracted from the English Wikipedia. [4] Some of the tables have a specific format, e.g., the so-called infoboxes. Large-scale table extraction of Wikipedia infoboxes forms one of the sources for DBpedia. [5]

@Philoserf: I note that your recent edits removed many of the inline external links. This makes the page much harder to use: statements such as "If it doesn't work, see the forums" and "The SQL file used to initialize a MediaWiki database can be found here" aren't useful without their external link.
Alternatively one can copy the wikitext, i.e. the text in the edit box (the source code within the database).. This has a limited use. There is more information in the webpage than conveyed by the wikitext:
{| table code goes here |} An optional table caption is included with a line starting with a vertical bar and plus sign "|+" and the caption after it: {| |+ caption table code goes here |} To start a new table row, type a vertical bar and a hyphen on its own line: "|-". The codes for the cells in that row start on the next line.
