Tables are a commonly-used way of displaying information, particularly in articles that contain data. This tutorial aims at providing a guide on how to make tables; if you are looking for the policy on when to use them, see Manual of Style. The simplest way to insert a table is with the editing toolbar that appears when you edit a page. Depending on your preferences, you will see one of two toolbars. Pressing the 'insert table' button will open a dialog that allows you to define a table.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! HeaderR0C1 !! HeaderR0C2 !! HeaderR0C3
|-
| ExampleR1C1 || ExampleR1C2 || ExampleR1C3
|-
| ExampleR2C1 || ExampleR2C2 || ExampleR2C3
|-
| ExampleR3C1 || ExampleR3C2 || ExampleR3C3
|}
Which looks like:
All you have to do is place this where you want it in the article, edit it to match the information you're trying to display, and hit save. You can add more headers by adding more entries in the header section, more rows, or remove headers or rows if you're looking for a smaller table. If you don't have the enhanced editing toolbar, you'll want to create the tables manually. If you're looking for other ways to format the table, start here. |
