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. Copy the table to 2 sandboxes (or one sandbox, and in the article itself). Then delete the columns not needed on one of the new tables.
That auto-aligning feature can be used to create a "floating-gallery" of images: a set of 20 floating-tables will wrap (backward, right-to-left) as if each table were a word of text to wrap across and down the page.
Note that you may also specify the § height of individual rows, and if they add up to more than the table height you specified or if word wrapping increases row height, the table height you specified will be ignored and the table height increased as needed to accommodate all the rows (except on mobile where the bottom of the table will be cut ...

Once you've chosen the number of rows and columns, the wiki markup text for the table is inserted into the article.
In typography and word processing, the page footer (or simply footer) of a printed page is a section located under the main text, or body. It is typically used as the space for the page number. In the earliest printed books it also contained the first words of the next page; in this case they preferred to place the page number in the page ...
Tables are a way of presenting information into rows and columns. Tables can be useful for various types of content on Wikipedia, but they should only be used when appropriate. In some cases, the information might be better conveyed in prose or as embedded lists. Overusing tables, especially with complex coding, can make pages harder to edit ...
