You can add a table using HTML rather than wiki markup, as described at HTML element#Tables. However, HTML tables are discouraged because wikitables are easier to customize and maintain, as described at manual of style on tables. Also, note that the <thead>, <tbody>, <tfoot>, <colgroup>, and <col> elements are not supported in wikitext.
See the Width section of Help:Table. To summarize, max-width is the preferred way to limit widths on tables. It works on divs too. Note though that in both tables and divs there needs to be spaces in long lines of text or wikitext. Otherwise there is no point at which that line can wrap.

{| table code goes here |} An optional table caption is included with a line starting with a vertical bar and plus sign "|+" and the caption after it: {| |+ caption table code goes here |} To start a new table row, type a vertical bar and a hyphen on its own line: "|-". The codes for the cells in that row start on the next line.
Note, in the above example, how the column-spacer of the 2nd column is set to only 9 spaces (compared to 13 on column 1), due to the text entries being longer words in column 2. In general, a set of 3 columns can each be spaced between 9-23 spaces apart, depending on wider column-spacers for shorter words in each column.
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 markup text for the table is inserted into the article.

When used in conjunction with the table element, it specifies the amount of space between the border of a table cell and its contents.
