MediaWiki’s wikitable class (class="wikitable") is designed for straightforward table formatting and enforces certain global styles that make removing borders between adjacent cells challenging even if custom CSS styles attempt to eliminate these borders. Specifically, the class includes:
MediaWiki Table Utility or this updated version This class constructs a MediaWiki-format table from an Excel/GoogleDoc copy&paste. It provides a variety of methods to modify the style. It defaults to a Wikipedia styling with first column header.
Currently, there does not seem to be a way to copy those tables to a wiki and keep styling such as colors (background or text color). It is possible to convert PDF tables to Excel and keep the colors. Or to HTML tables and keep the colors. But there does not seem to be a way to copy any of those colored tables (PDF, Excel, HTML, etc.) to a wiki.
The table above (even if some more columns are added) maintains one line per country for narrower browser and screen widths. So it is therefore more readable and scannable in long country tables. The table format below can greatly increase in number of lines, and require more vertical scrolling, especially if more columns are added.
That parameter tells the software to do standard table formatting, such as shading the top row. 2. This line adds an optional caption (starting with "|+"). 3 through 6. Each row of a table, including column headings (if any) consists of two or more lines, with the first line essentially saying, "A new row starts here!"
The wikitext must be correct. An incorrect rowspan organization can break sorting, cause weird table formatting, move data to the wrong column, etc. See examples below. When sorted all the rows are filled. Tables without rowspan are much easier to maintain by less experienced editors, and by editors who are stopping by only once to edit the table.
You can even import a table by dragging a comma-separated value (.csv) file from your computer into the main editing window. When you click on "Table", in the "Insert" menu, VisualEditor inserts as a default a blank four-by-four table. Now the "Table" menu is available. From that menu, you can add a caption to the top of the table.
