In this example, the scope attribute defines what the headers describe, column or row, which screen readers use. You can add a table using HTML rather than wiki markup, as described at HTML element#Tables. However, HTML tables are discouraged because wikitables are easier to customize and maintain, as described at manual of style on tables.
Normally, copying and pasting columns or rows removes the inline CSS styling such as cell colors. There is a way to break up a table (a too-wide table for example) into more tables without losing all the background colors, and other inline styling.

CSS to replace obsolete attributes for borders, padding, spacing, etc. Add a border around a table using the CSS property border: thickness style color;, for example border:3px dashed red.

Another alternative is to copy the entire table from the displayed page, paste the text into a spreadsheet, move the columns as you will.

Clicking the button will open a dialog where you define what you want in your new table. Once you've chosen the number of rows and columns, the wiki markup text for the table is inserted into the article.
Do not place column headers in the middle of a table to visually separate the table.
