The easiest way to insert a new table is to use the editing toolbar that appears when you edit a page (see image above). 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.
For each table, insert an alpha-prefix on each column (making each row-token "|-" to sort as column zero, like prefix "Row124col00"), then sort into a new file, and then de-prefix the column entries. Again, bear in mind, the tedious hand-editing of items in each row is often faster than the potential delay of automated edits gone awry.
Launch VE. In a table select a column, or part of a column of numbers. To do so click the top cell you want. Then shift-click a cell farther down or at the end of the column. This will select the column down to that cell.
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 ...

Using two columns like this does have the disadvantage that searching the web page (either with a browser or a search engine) will usually not be able to find text that straddles the column boundary. Also, if the table has cell spacing (and thus border-collapse=separate), meaning that cells have separate borders with a gap in between, that gap ...

Add an abbreviation for voice browsers if column headings are more than a word or so. For example, if a column heading is Number of edits, change that to abbr="Edits" | Number of edits. The heading stills visually displays "Number of edits", but the voice browser just says, "Edits." Don't code information into the table using only colors or ...
