Learn the wiki syntax for creating tables. Remember, you can also use the Visual Editor for a quick and easy way to create tables.

Creating tables using wiki syntax

The following table was made with:

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Table Caption
!width="10%"|Header 1
!width="10%"|Header 2
!width="10%"|Header 3
!width="70%"|Header 4
|- 
| Cell 1 || Cell 2 || Cell 3 || Cell 4
|- 
| Cell 5 || Cell 6 || Cell 7 || Cell 8
|-
| Cell 9 || Cell 10 || Cell 11 || Cell 12 
|-
| Cell 13 || Cell 14 || Cell 15 || Cell 16
|}

Table Caption
Header 1	Header 2	Header 3	Header 4
Cell 1	Cell 2	Cell 3	Cell 4
Cell 5	Cell 6	Cell 7	Cell 8
Cell 9	Cell 10	Cell 11	Cell 12
Cell 13	Cell 14	Cell 15	Cell 16

The pretty styling happens by calling class="wikitable". This css must added to your Mediawiki:Common.css page. See this wiki's Common.css for an example.
