<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Tables''' may be created in wiki pages.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">As a general rule, it is best to avoid using a table unless you need one.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Table markup often complicates page editing.</span><ref>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Tables can be created using either HTML table elements directly, or using wikicode formatting to define the table.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">HTML table elements and their use are well described on various web pages and will not be discussed here.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The benefit of wikicode is that the table is constructed of character symbols which tend to make it easier to perceive the table structure in the article editing view compared to HTML table elements.</span>

==Caveats==
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
===Negative numbers===
</div>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">If you start a cell on a new line with a negative number with a minus sign (or a parameter that evaluates to a negative number), your table can get broken, because the characters <code>|-</code> will be parsed as the wiki markup for table row, not table cell.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">To avoid this, insert a space before the value (<code>| -6</code>) or use in-line cell markup (<code>|| -6</code>).</span>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
===CSS vs attributes===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Table borders specified through CSS rather than the border attribute will render incorrectly in a small subset of text browsers.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
===Common attributes for columns, column groups and row groups===
</div>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The MediaWiki syntax for tables currently offers no support for specifying common attributes for columns (with the HTML element {{tag|col|single}}), column groups (HTML element {{tag|colgroup|content=}}) and row groups (HTML elements {{tag|thead|content=}}, {{tag|tbody|content=}} and {{tag|tfoot|content=}}).</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Those standard HTML elements are not accepted even in their HTML or XHTML syntax.</span>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
All the rows and cells (header or data) of the table are rendered within a single implicit row group (HTML element {{tag|tbody|content=}}) without any attributes or styles.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
== Tables and the Visual Editor (VE) ==

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Can now move or delete columns and rows ===
</div>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Click on a column or row header.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Then click on the arrow.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">From the popup menu click on "Move" or "Delete".</span>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Insert blank row or column ===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
From the same popup menu click on "Insert".
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Copy table from web page to Visual Editor ===
</div>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">It is possible to copy and paste a table from a web page directly into the [[w:WP:Visual Editor|Visual Editor]] (VE).</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">To do so safely, use a sandbox and check the table for proper coding in wikitext source mode and proper display in the Visual Editor and in preview mode.</span>
