Note, rowspan="2" and colspan="2" can be used on cells to span multiple rows and columns. Header cells are created with ! Header cell, which can be column or row headers. Data cells are created with | Data cell. A new column can be added by adding another cell to the first row.
If you use tables for two-dimensional graphics you might discover a "feature" in HTML that promotes grey hair. It can affect both rows and columns, depending on the use of either rowspan or colspan. In this 7-row table three cells are assigned a rowspan of 3, but the table totals 6 rows. Where is row 4? There is a row 5-4!
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.
For example, the background colors of cells can be changed with cell parameters, making the table into a diagram, ... rowspan=2 colspan=2: G (row 5 cell 1) H ...
No, I most definitely wanted two separate cells, I wanted 4 and 5 to be able to be sorted as different cells, in case I had several more instances in other rows of 4 and/or 5 and the readers wanted to sort either by 4 or by 5, if that makes sense. There's a reason I put "sortable" in my example. Looks like rowspan=2 is working for you.
The first uses colspan="2" <-- This row has three table data cells, but one spans two rows because it uses rowspan="2" <-- This row has only two table data cells, because its first is being taken up

Column numbers up to col29 are supported. A table can have more columns but they cannot be aligned with this method. On tables using rowspan or colspan, using the classes may not work well on those rows because the alignment appears in wrong cells.
