Help:Tables

This page explains the use of wikitables.

If you are still stuck, Wikipedia has a large help page on tables.

Standard table examples

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Header 1
! Header 2
! Header 3
|-
| row 1, cell 1
| row 1, cell 2
| row 1, cell 3
|-
| row 2, cell 1
| row 2, cell 2
| row 2, cell 3
|}

This code produces the following table:

Header 1	Header 2	Header 3
row 1, cell 1	row 1, cell 2	row 1, cell 3
row 2, cell 1	row 2, cell 2	row 2, cell 3

---

{| class="wikitable"
|+ The table's caption
! Column header 1
! Column header 2
! Column header 3
|-
! Row header 1
| Cell 2 || Cell 3
|-
! Row header A
| Cell B
| Cell C
|}

This code produces the following table:

The table's caption

Column header 1	Column header 2	Column header 3
Row header 1	Cell 2	Cell 3
Row header A	Cell B	Cell C

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; width: 200px; height: 200px;"
|+ Multiplication table
|-
! ×
! 1
! 2
! 3
|-
! 1
| 1 || 2 || 3
|-
! 2
| 2 || 4 || 6
|-
! 3
| 3 || 6 || 9
|-
! 4
| 4 || 8 || 12
|-
! 5
| 5 || 10 || 15
|}

This code produces the following table:

Multiplication table

×	1	2	3
1	1	2	3
2	2	4	6
3	3	6	9
4	4	8	12
5	5	10	15

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Column 1<br />(row 1 cell 1) !! Column 2<br />(row 1 cell 2) !! Column 3<br />(row 1 cell 3)
|-
| rowspan="2" | A<br />(row 2 cell 1)<br /><code>rowspan="2"</code>
| colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" | B<br />(row 2 cell 2)<br /><code>colspan="2"</code>
|-
| C<br />(row 3 cell 1) <!-- column 1 occupied by cell A -->
| D<br />(row 3 cell 2)
|-
| E<br />(row 4 cell 1)
| rowspan="2" colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" |F<br />(row 4 cell 2)<br /><code>rowspan="2" colspan="2"</code>
|-
| G<br />(row 5 cell 1) <!-- column 2+3 occupied by cell F -->
|-
| colspan="3" style="text-align: center;" | H<br />(row 6 cell 1)<br /><code>colspan="3"</code>
|}

This code produces the following table:

Column 1 (row 1 cell 1)	Column 2 (row 1 cell 2)	Column 3 (row 1 cell 3)
A (row 2 cell 1) rowspan="2"	B (row 2 cell 2) colspan="2"
	C (row 3 cell 1)	D (row 3 cell 2)
E (row 4 cell 1)	F (row 4 cell 2) rowspan="2" colspan="2"
G (row 5 cell 1)
H (row 6 cell 1) colspan="3"

Collapsible tables

Adding mw-collapsible to the table's class will make it collapsible. A further parameter of mw-collapsed will set it collapsed by default and omitting it keeps the table shown by default.

{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable"
|+ Caption
! Column header 1
! Column header 2
|-
! Row header 1
| Cell 2
|-
! Row header A
| Cell B
|}

This code produces the following table:

Caption

Column header 1	Column header 2
Row header 1	Cell 2
Row header A	Cell B

Styling

Tables can be styled by using the CSS classes shown here.

class="wikitable"

Foo	Bar	FooBar
Foo	Bar	FooBar
Foo	Bar	FooBar
Foo	Bar	FooBar
Foo	Bar		FooBar

Alternating row colors

Add zebra to alternate the color of each (non-header) row.

class="wikitable zebra"

Foo	Bar	FooBar
Foo	Bar	FooBar
Foo	Bar	FooBar
Foo	Bar	FooBar
Foo	Bar		FooBar

class="wikitable zebra"
