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.


Making Tables Accessible

Please see Accessibility of table header cells for instructions on making tables more accessible when rendered on non-visual media.
