If the first text-word is too long, no text will fit to complete the left-hand side, so beware creating a "ragged left margin" when not enough space remains for text to fit alongside floating-tables. If multiple single image-tables are stacked, they will float to align across the page, depending on page-width.
Then click "Replace all". All the text in the first column will be aligned to the left of their cells. If for some reason those cells are header cells, then fill in the "Search for" box with (\|-\n\!) Note the exclamation point for a header cell.

A simple trick allows to protect the "|" in template parameter values while still arriving as real "|" delimiter in the Wiki table, see the magic word {{!}}. Note that "!" (exclamation mark) has no problems with templates, it's the other delimiter used in Wiki tables. Here's the code for plan B: {|
If there are multiple columns select the top left data cell (not the header cell or this will not work). Then Shift-click on the bottom right data cell. This will select all the data cells. Don't select any text or date cells. Or deselect just the text or date cells by ctrl-click. Click "number format" from the format menu. Then click ...
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.

Otherwise, add <noinclude>[[Category:Text-specific formatting and function templates]]</noinclude>
A template is a Wikipedia page created to be included in other pages. It usually contains repetitive material that may need to show up on multiple articles or pages, often with customizable input. Templates sometimes use MediaWiki parser functions, nicknamed "magic words", a simple scripting language. Template pages are found in the template ...
Once you've chosen the number of rows and columns, the wiki markup text for the table is inserted into the article. Then you can replace the "Example" text with the data you want to be displayed. Tables in Wikipedia, particularly large ones, can look intimidating to edit, but the way they work is simple.
