Recall that, outside an image-table, the parameter |right causes an image to align (either) above or below an infobox, but would not float alongside the infobox. Note the order of precedence: first come infoboxes or images using |right, then come the floating tables, and lastly, any text wraps that can still fit. If the first word of the text ...

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, or HTML syntax, and many different styles and tricks can be used to customise them.
More template styles for tables: {{sticky header}} - Makes column headers stick to the top of the page while scrolling through table data. {} - moves the sorting arrows under the headers. {{row hover highlight}} - adds row hover highlighting, and option for white background. {{static row numbers}} - adds a column of row numbers to a table.
Note: If you trying to align a table column (left, center, or right) use Template:Table alignment. This is a generic template for handling the horizontal alignment of elements on a page. Use the template like this:
CSS styling applied to cell in row R, column C. Overrides any more general styling (leftright, colCalign, rowRstyle, etc). |style5.3=text-align:right; Not set: Unnamed parameters: Each unnamed parameter is taken to be the next cell in the table, starting at the table's top left corner and working left to right from top to bottom.
In some sense, this isn't a true table because it doesn't have rows (or, to be exact, it's formatted as if it had only one row), and the information in one column doesn't necessarily line up with information in the other columns. (Notice that the center column has four entries, versus three entries for the left and right columns.)
For guidelines on when and how to use tables, see the Manual of Style. 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 ...
