In the current version the export format does not contain an XML replacement of wiki markup (see Wikipedia DTD for an older proposal, or Wiki Markup Language). You only get the wikitext as you get when editing the article. (After export you can use alternative parsers to convert wikitext to other format)
Alternatively the manual 'export-function' can be used: File → Export → choose ‘MediaWiki (.txt)’-format. LibreOffice Writer 5 can export as a MediaWiki .txt file under Windows 10 if the appropriate 32- or 64-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) has been installed and enabled in LO. The document to be converted has to use styles, etc ...
Then click a data cell, and drag the column to a new location. Or right click and delete the selected column (no need for ALT key). Rows are similarly moved (with the ALT key pressed), or deleted. Sort as described in the previous section. Copy the table to a wiki sandbox. In Calc select the table.
Wikipedia preprocessor (wikiprep.pl) is a Perl script that preprocesses raw XML dumps and builds link tables, category hierarchies, collects anchor text for each article etc. Wikipedia SQL dump parser is a .NET library to read MySQL dumps without the need to use MySQL database
Copy the wiki code from the text file. You can save any web page as an HTML file, and then open it in LibreOffice Writer. Edit as needed. Remove the parts you don't want. Keep only tables for example. Then export to MediaWiki. Tables can be further edited in LibreOffice Calc. See: Commons:Convert tables and charts to wiki code or image files.
A table is an arrangement of columns and rows that organizes and positions data or images. Tables can be created on Wikipedia pages using special wikitext syntax, and many different styles and tricks can be used to customise them. Tables can be used as formatting instrument, but consider using a multi column list instead.
QID (or Q number) is the unique identifier of a data item on Wikidata, comprising the letter "Q" followed by one or more digits. It is used to help people and machines understand the difference between items with the same or similar names, e.g., there are several places in the world called London and many people called James Smith.
Lists and tables are two different ways to format multiple, similar items on a page. Lists and HTML tables go back to Wikipedia's early days. The current wikicode tables (see the section about tables), which you can edit more easily and even sort, came later. You'll find many more lists than tables on Wikipedia.
