Help:Table

Pipe syntax
Although HTML table syntax also works, special wikicode can be used to create a table, as follows:

 * The entire table begins with a line " optional table parameters " and ends with the line " ".
 * An optional table caption is included with a line " caption " after " ".
 * The code for a table row consists of the line " optional table parameters ", and, starting on a new line, the codes for the cells in the row, separated by newline or "|"
 * Table data are the codes for the cells; cell code is of the form "| value " or "| cell parameters | value "
 * a row of column headings is identified by using "!" instead of "|", except for the separator between a cell parameter and a value; the difference with a normal row depends on the browser, column headings are often rendered in a bold font.
 * the first cell of a row is identified as row heading by starting the line with "!" instead of "|", and starting subsequent data cells on a new line.

The table parameters and cell parameters are the same as in HTML, see  and  HTML element#Tables. However, the,  ,  ,  , and   elements are currently not supported in MediaWiki.

A table can be useful even if none of the cells have content, notably because with the use of background colors of cells the table can be a diagram, see e.g. m:Template talk:Square 8x8 pentomino example. An "image" in the form of a table is much more convenient to edit than an uploaded image.

Each row must have the same number of cells as the other rows, so that the number of columns in the table remains consistent (unless there are cells which span several columns or rows, see colspan and rowspan in Mélange example below). For empty cells, use the non-breaking space  as content to ensure that the cells are displayed.

Simple example

Source code

Appearance

Color; scope of parameters
Two ways of specifying color of text and background for a single cell are as follows:

gives

As shown "font" works for one cell only, even without end tag: the end tag is produced by the system.

Like other parameters, colors can also be specified for a whole row or the whole table; parameters for a row override the value for the table, and those for a cell override those for a row:

gives

The HTML 4.01 specification defines sixteen named colors, here shown with hexadecimal values:

See web colors.

Width, height
The width and height of the whole table can be specified, as well as the height of a row. To specify the width of a column one can specify the width of an arbitrary cell in it. If the width is not specified for all columns, and/or the height is not specified for all rows, then there is some ambiguity, and the result depends on the browser.

gives

Positioning
One can position the table itself, and all contents in a row, and contents in a cell, but not with a single parameter all contents in the table, see m:Template talk:Table demo. Do not, under any circumstances, use "float" to position a table. It will break page rendering at large font sizes.

Mélange
Here's a more advanced example, showing some more options available for making up tables. You can play with these settings in your own table to see what effect they have. Not all of these techniques may be appropriate in all cases; just because you can add colored backgrounds, for example, doesn't mean it's always a good idea. Try to keep the markup in your tables relatively simple -- remember, other people are going to be editing the article too! This example should give you an idea of what is possible, though.

Appearance

Advanced example
Note the floating table to the right.

Nested table
gives a nested table

{| border=1
 * α
 * align="center" | cell2

 * valign="bottom" | the original table again
 * }

Nested tables have to start on a new line.

Other table syntax
Other types of table syntax that MediaWiki supports:
 * 1) XHTML
 * 2) HTML and wiki  syntax

All three are supported by MediaWiki and create (currently) valid HTML output, but the pipe syntax is the simplest, except perhaps for people who are already familiar with HTML. Also, HTML and wiki  syntax will not necessarily remain browser-supported in the upcoming future, especially on handheld internet-accessible devices.

See also HTML element#Tables. Note however that the,  ,  ,  , and   elements are currently not supported in MediaWiki.

Pipe syntax in terms of the HTML produced
The pipe syntax, developed by Magnus Manske, substitutes pipes ( | ) for HTML. There is an on-line script which converts html tables to pipe syntax tables.

The pipes must start at the beginning of a new line, except when separating parameters from content or when using  to separate cells on a single line. The parameters are optional.

Tables
A table is defined by which equals and, or the first parameter gets ignored.

Rows

 tags will be generated automatically for the first row. To start a new row, use |- which results in
 Parameters can be added like this: |- params which results in

Note:
 *
 tags will be automatically opened at the first  equivalent
 *
 tags will be automatically closed at
 and
 equivalents

Cells
Cells are generated either like this: |cell1 |cell2 |cell3 or like this: |cell1||cell2||cell3 which both equal cell1	cell2	cell3	 so "||" equals "newline" + "|"

Parameters in cells can be used like this: |params|cell1||params|cell2||params|cell3 which will result in cell1 cell2 cell3

Headers
Functions the same way as TD, except "!" is used instead of the opening "|". "!!" can be used instead of "||". Parameters still use "|", though! Example: ! params|cell1

Captions
A
 tag is created by |+ Caption which generates
Caption
 You can also use parameters: |+ params|Caption which will generate
Caption

Text next to a table
(To see demonstrated effects, you may have to increase or decrease the fontsize setting of the browser; also you can vary the width of the browser window.)

You can use align=right, text after the table code appears to the left of the table.

here begins the text immediately after 5*3 multiplication table. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Duis tellus. Donec ante dolor, iaculis nec, gravida ac, cursus in, eros. Mauris vestibulum, felis et egestas ullamcorper, purus nibh vehicula sem, eu egestas ante nisl non justo. Fusce tincidunt, lorem nec dapibus consectetuer, leo orci mollis ipsum, eget suscipit eros purus in ante. At ipsum vitae est lacinia tincidunt. Maecenas elit orci, gravida ut, molestie non, venenatis vel, lorem. Sed lacinia. Suspendisse potenti. Sed ultricies cursus lectus. In id magna sit amet nibh suscipit euismod. Integer enim. Donec sapien ante, accumsan ut, sodales commodo, auctor quis, lacus. Maecenas a elit lacinia urna posuere sodales. Curabitur pede pede, molestie id, blandit vitae, varius ac, purus. Mauris at ipsum vitae est lacinia tincidunt. Maecenas elit orci, gravida ut, molestie non, venenatis vel, lorem. Sed lacinia. Suspendisse potenti. Sed ultricies cursus lectus. In id magna sit amet nibh suscipit euismod. Integer enim. Donec sapien ante, accumsan ut, sodales commodo, auctor quis, lacus. Maecenas a elit lacinia urna posuere sodales. Curabitur pede pede, molestie id, blandit vitae, varius ac, purus.

However, do not put preformatted text there, it may overlap the table because it does not wrap. To prevent this, use  :

here begins the text immediately after 4*3 multiplication table. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Duis tellus. Donec ante dolor, iaculis nec, gravida ac, cursus in, eros. Mauris vestibulum, felis et egestas ullamcorper, purus nibh vehicula sem, eu egestas ante nisl non justo. Fusce tincidunt, lorem nec dapibus consectetuer, leo orci mollis ipsum, eget suscipit eros purus in ante. now comes the cleared BR:  here it was so preformatted text will start only after the table ended

You can use align=left, table will appear at the left and the following text to the right of it (but perhaps too close):

here begins the text immediately after 2*3 multiplication table. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Duis tellus. Donec ante dolor, iaculis nec, gravida ac, cursus in, eros. Mauris vestibulum, felis et egestas ullamcorper, purus nibh vehicula sem, eu egestas ante nisl non justo. Fusce tincidunt, lorem nec dapibus consectetuer, leo orci mollis ipsum, eget suscipit eros purus in ante. At ipsum vitae est lacinia tincidunt. Maecenas elit orci, gravida ut, molestie non, venenatis vel, lorem. Sed lacinia. Suspendisse potenti. Sed ultricies cursus lectus. In id magna sit amet nibh suscipit euismod. Integer enim. Donec sapien ante, accumsan ut, sodales commodo, auctor quis, lacus. Maecenas a elit lacinia urna posuere sodales. Curabitur pede pede, molestie id, blandit vitae, varius ac, purus. Mauris at ipsum vitae est lacinia tincidunt. Maecenas elit orci, gravida ut, molestie non, venenatis vel, lorem. Sed lacinia. Suspendisse potenti. Sed ultricies cursus lectus. In id magna sit amet nibh suscipit euismod. Integer enim. Donec sapien ante, accumsan ut, sodales commodo, auctor quis, lacus. Maecenas a elit lacinia urna posuere sodales. Curabitur pede pede, molestie id, blandit vitae, varius ac, purus.

Space around a table, image, or text
To create space around a table, image, or text, create a 1×1 table around it, with cellpadding:

Setting your column widths
If you wish to force column widths to your own requirements, rather than accepting the width of the widest text element in a column's cells, then follow this example. Note that wrap-around of text is forced.

Setting parameters
At the start of a cell, add your parameter followed by a single pipe. For example width=300px| will set that cell to a width of 300 pixels. To set more than one parameter, leave a space between each one.

Wikipedia code

What it looks like in your browser

Decimal point alignment
A method to get columns of numbers aligned at the decimal point is as follows:

gives

In simple cases one can dispense with the table feature and simply start the lines with a space, and put spaces to position the numbers:

432.1 43.21   4.321

Style templates
Some users have created templates to make table styles easier. Instead of remembering table parameters, you just include an appropriate style template after the. This helps keep table formatting consistent, and can allow a single change to the template to fix a problem or enhance the look of all tables that use it. For instance, this:

becomes this:

simply by replacing the  section with.

All of these templates should be organized/listed in a single place, like here.

Gallery
As a by-product of the image gallery feature, a table can be made with the gallery tag; if a text entry contains a link, the whole entry is ignored.

Help:Talk page

 * Information on how to avoid becoming upset while using Wikiquote to discuss can be found at help:interwiki linking.

A talk page is a special Wikiquote page containing discussion about the contents of its associated "subject" page. To view the talk page of an article, click on the "discussion" tab at the top of the page. When you are in the talk page, clicking on "entry" will take you back to the main entry.

It is highly recommended to use the various Wikiquote Wikiquote discussion rooms to talk about entries instead, as those receive much higher traffic in general.

What is it used for?
On Wikiquote, the purpose of a talk page is to record past discussions related to the entry page it is attached to. Discussions include anything from those challenging the validity of the senses or entries to general questions about its etymology.

User talk pages
Your user page has a talk page as well, and that one has some special features. For one thing, there is a link to it in the header next to your name (if you use a "skin" other than the default it may be somewhere else). Also, if edits are made to it by others, the text You have new messages will appear at the top of the page. These pages can be used for occasional personal communication among users; but note that these pages are public. If you want to communicate privately, use e-mail.

To write in another user's talk page, click the Discuss this page link on your sidebar when you view the user page (which you can do by clicking on a user's nickname). On the list of recent changes and on your watchlist, you can directly access a user's talk page by following the (Talk) link behind the user's name / IP address.

"Post a comment" feature
For editing a talk page, one can optionally use the "Post a comment" feature, but only for a new thread and for a reply to be put at the bottom of the last thread.

 * For a new thread, fill in the "Subject/headline" box. Then the edit summary is automatically the same as the new section header.
 * For a reply to be put at the bottom of the last thread, do not fill in the "Subject/headline" box. In this case it is not possible to supply an edit summary. Instead, edit the previous thread.

When using "Post a comment", an edit conflict is impossible. However, in the case that you are not starting a new thread but replying to an existing one, your response may be appended to a newly created post that was added while you wrote yours. It is therefore generally recommended to use section editing to respond, and "Post a comment" to start new threads. If your comment is accidentally misplaced, just edit the page and move it.

A few tips
These style guidelines have been adapted from the style guidelines at Wikipedia and are presented here as suggested methods, not rules. Following these guidelines is appreciated but not required.

 * Sign your posts: To sign a post, type three tildes, and they will be replaced with your username after saving, like this: HappyDog. Type four tildes ( ~ ), and they will be replaced with your username and time stamp, like this: HappyDog 15:50, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC). Wikiquote we recommend that you try to always Sign your posts on talk pages. You can also use a pseudonym, or just "--anon".
 * Use indenting to keep the conversation straight: The first contributor is all the way to the left, the next person starts with one colon, the next person starts with two colons.  Then, when the first contributor responds, they start at the left margin again, and the second and third persons continue to mark themselves with one and two colons respectively,  In that way, who is saying what is clear.
 * Separate discussion topics: Put each new topic under a different headline ( == Subject == ). The "Post a comment" feature accomplishes this automatically when you enter a subject line. The edit summary is automatically the same as this header. Thus every thread is a section. This allows section editing of the thread in question. You can also use horizontal lines, although some users strongly dislike them.
 * Proceed vertically: The further down the contribution to talk, the later it was made.
 * Feel free to ignore typographical conventions: Do as you please to make your points clear.
 * Make links freely: Links to entries are as useful on talk pages as anywhere else, and links to non-existent entries can help get them onto the most wanted pages list.
 * Don't misrepresent other people: Typing errors, grammar, etc are always fair game, but don't edit someone's words to have them say something they don't believe in. Editing or deleting your own words is up to you. Avoid context swizzling.
 * Archive rather than delete: When a talk page's content has become extremely large or the discussion of the issue in hand has simply died down and no one has a reasonable chance of adding to it. Then create a new page. (See How to start a page for details.) Place the page in a talk or Wikiquote talk namespace. Give it an explanatory name. Often people simply add "archive" to the original name. Explain on the archive page where the text you plan to archive will come from and provide a link. Cut the relevant content from the original page and paste it into the new page. Replace the text on the original page with a link to the archive. An alternative is to summarise the discussion and provide a link to the version with the full text.
 * Keep to the topic: Not layout, but worth keeping in mind.  Talk page discussions can be much more humorous and POV than the typical article, but personal attacks don't do much to make entry better.
 * Use UTC when referring to a time, e.g. the time of an edit or page move.

Replaced page with wiktionary's version?
It does not look like many have consulted the associated page recently. I therefore decided to be bold and replace our page with Help-Talk on wiktionary. I believe wiktionary's version is simpler and much easier to follow. Objections? Ottawahitech (talk) 17:48, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
