One method of hiding rows in tables (or other structures within tables) uses HTML directly. [1] HTML is more complicated than MediaWiki table syntax, but not much more so. In general, there are only a handful of HTML tags you need to be aware of
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
Background color on rows will look off if one of the cells spans multiple rows (ex. rowspan="2"). If the table is sortable, then this gets fixed once sorted since sortable collapses row spans. If the table is sortable, then this gets fixed once sorted since sortable collapses row spans.
MediaWiki’s wikitable class (class="wikitable") is designed for straightforward table formatting and enforces certain global styles that make removing borders between adjacent cells challenging even if custom CSS styles attempt to eliminate these borders. Specifically, the class includes:
Click OK in the popup box. In the next dialog box drag "Year" to the "Column Fields" box, and drag "State" to the "Row Fields" box. Drag "Rate" to the "Data Fields" box. In the options menu decide whether you want the rows or columns totaled. Click OK. The table will convert to the new format with the years as column headers.
In addition, it is usually possible to add or import a table that exists elsewhere (e.g., in a spreadsheet, on another website) directly into the visual editor by:
If there are multiple columns select the top left data cell (not the header cell or this will not work). Then Shift-click on the bottom right data cell. This will select all the data cells. Don't select any text or date cells. Or deselect just the text or date cells by ctrl-click. Click "number format" from the format menu. Then click ...
It is easy to use now. It is a template to automatically add row numbers to sortable tables. The row numbers will not be sorted when columns of data are sorted. A possible note to add above a table: Row numbers are static. Other columns are sortable. This allows ranking of any column. See list of articles transcluding {{static row numbers}}.
