Specifies whether a header cell is a header for a column (scope="col"), row (scope="row"), group of columns (colspan="2" scope="colgroup"), or group of rows (rowspan="2" scope="rowgroup"). It has no visual effect, but is used by screen readers and is recommended according to accessibility guidelines .
If the first text-word is too long, no text will fit to complete the left-hand side, so beware creating a "ragged left margin" when not enough space remains for text to fit alongside floating-tables. If multiple single image-tables are stacked, they will float to align across the page, depending on page-width.
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
sortable – adds up & down icons to column headers which enable sorting the table on a given column. See sortable tables. mw-collapsible – See collapsible tables. [note 1] plainrowheaders – applies left-aligned and normal-weight formatting of row headers. See Table header layout.
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 can only be sorted vertically by clicking on the column headers (topmost cells). When a column header is clicked, the rows of the table reorder themselves in an up-and-down manner, based on the values in that column. However, there is no functionality to sort columns horizontally by clicking on a cell in the leftmost row.
Consecutive rows of column headers are top sticky, so avoid adding a row of headers right under the column headers that don't apply to the entire table such as a section header meant to visually separate the table. A solution might be to move each section to a column or separate tables, which also avoids accessibility issues per MOS:COLHEAD.
