Note, rowspan="2" and colspan="2" can be used on cells to span multiple rows and columns. Header cells are created with ! Header cell, which can be column or row headers. Data cells are created with | Data cell. A new column can be added by adding another cell to the first row.
For complex tables, when a header spans two columns or rows, use ! scope="colgroup" colspan="2" | or ! scope="rowgroup" rowspan="2" | respectively to clearly identify the header as a column header of two columns or a row header of two rows.

@Closercamera901: You need to add colspan="2" to all third column cells including the header cell except for row one's cell, then add a fourth cell to row one. This makes the table have four columns. See Help:Table#Colspan and rowspan. Jroberson108 02:08, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
This template adds a scrollable container around a table and its classes can be used to make the table's rows stick to the top or the columns stick to the left side of the container as the table's data is scrolled in and out of view.
