If you have an old browser, you will see images instead. You can learn how to use it and write help pages for your wiki. You can use the Vega v2 edit tool to make charts and copy the code to your wiki. Note that only Vega 2 is supported at the moment. Charts and maps use complex code, and you should put them into templates.
For table markup, it can be applied to whole tables, table captions, table rows, and individual cells. CSS specificity in relation to content should be considered since applying it to a row could affect all that row's cells and applying it to a table could affect all the table's cells and caption, where styles closer to the content can override ...
Edit as needed. Remove the parts you don't want. Keep only tables for example. Then export to MediaWiki. Tables can be further edited in LibreOffice Calc. See: Commons:Convert tables and charts to wiki code or image files. And: Help:Table and the section on spreadsheets and the Visual Editor.
