By default, text is aligned to the left of data cells. By default, text is aligned to the center of header cells. All of the above is true in both desktop and mobile view.
Data cells should normally have plain unbolded text, and a lighter background. In the table below the data cell wikitext is on the same line as the row header wikitext. This causes the data cell backgrounds to be the same shade of gray as the column and row headers. It also makes the data cell text bold. See how to fix this after the table.
A table can be useful even if none of the cells have content. For example, the background colors of cells can be changed with cell parameters, making the table into a diagram, like meta:Template talk:Square 8x8 pentomino example.

Year sorting of a column works as long as the year is the first text in each cell in the column. Adding data-sort-type=date to the column header does not change this. Text is OK after a year in a cell. "FY" (fiscal year), for example, should go after the year. References after the year are OK. Put "c." after the year, or use "est." after the ...

In most implementations, a cell, or group of cells in a column or row, can be "named" enabling the user to refer to those cells by a name rather than by a grid reference. Names must be unique within the spreadsheet, but when using multiple sheets in a spreadsheet file, an identically named cell range on each sheet can be used if it is ...
