Help:Table

The following shows you how to create a table.

MediaWiki syntax

To create a table, you will first need to understand the basic wikitext syntax:

• {| - Signifies the start of a table.
• |+ - Signifies the caption of a table; what text will appear above it, labeling it.
• ! - Signifies the start of a header table cell. The text within a header cell is boldfaced and centered.
• !! - Signifies the switch to a new header cell within a row.
• |- - Signifies the start of a table row.
• | - Signifies the start of a regular table cell.
• || - Signifies the switch to a new cell within a row.
• |} - Signifies the end of a table.

Usage

Here is an example of how the syntax is combined to create a table:

{|
|+ This is the caption for my table.
! These !! are !! my !! table !! headers
|-
| These || are || my || regular || cells
|-
| These || are || my || regular || cells
|}

Table types

Standard table

Add class="wikitable" right after the start of the table to apply the appropriate wiki styling:

{| class="wikitable"

Some additional table classes that can be added are:

• dk - Applies a Donkey Kong theme to the wikitable.
• center - Centers the table in the middle of the page.
• sortable - Adds JavaScript sorting to the table headers.
• scrollable - Adds horizontal scrolling to extra-wide tables.
• autoresize - Automatically downscales images in cramped tables.

Multiple classes are simply separated by a space. For example:

{| class="wikitable dk sortable"

Note that class="unsortable" can be applied to header cells to remove the sorting ability for that column, and the data-sort-value attribute can be set for individual cells to change the text used for sorting.

Example

#	Preview	Event	Player's characters	In-game description	Stage
1		Two Trouble Kings	Mario and Kirby	Now there are TWO greedy kings? Having a buddy doesn't change their natures. (KO Bowser and King Dedede)	Delfino Plaza
2		Master the Pokémon Tag Battle	Pokémon Trainer and Pikachu	The Pokemon tournament's final challenge. Your rivals have the same Pokemon! (KO rival Pokemon Trainer, and Pikachu)	Pokémon Stadium 2
3		Fastest, Shortest, Sudden Death	Yoshi and King Dedede	Only ten seconds left?! Beat as many foes as you can in Super Sudden Death and live! (survive 10 seconds at 300% damage)	WarioWare, Inc.
4		The DK Tag Calamity	Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong	DK and Diddy got tiny! Use lightning to help deal the final blow! (defeat all enemies while many Lightning Bolt items appear)	Mario Circuit

Here is the source code for the above table:

{| class="wikitable sortable"

Responsive table

Responsive tables look just like standard tables on wider desktop displays, but on narrow mobile displays they transform to show each row individually, with a given label for each cell.

To create a responsive table, the first step is to add the responsive class to the table:

{| class="wikitable responsive"

And then you add the data-label to each table cell (typically the same label used in the header):

| data-label="Answer 1" | Your wish is granted.

Example

#	Question	Answer 1	Answer 2	Answer 3
1	What will happen if you collect seven Crystal Stars?	Your wish is granted.	The Thousand-Year Door opens.	A thousand coins appear.
2	What is the goal of Grodus, leader of the X-Nauts?	To conquer the world.	To get rich.	To become a superhero.
3	What is the legendary treasure that waits behind the Thousand-Year Door?	100,000,000 coins.	An extremely rare badge.	A 1,000-year-old demon's soul.
4	What does Sir Grodus wish to do with this ancient demon's soul?	Cherish it always.	Bring the demon back to life.	Hang out with it.

Here is the source code for the above table:

{| class="wikitable responsive"
! #
! Question
! Answer 1
! Answer 2
! Answer 3
|-
! data-label="#" | 1
| data-label="Question" | What will happen if you collect seven [[Crystal Stars]]?
| data-label="Answer 1" | Your wish is granted.
| data-label="Answer 2" | [[The Thousand-Year Door]] opens.
| data-label="Answer 3" | A thousand [[coin]]s appear.
|-
! data-label="#" | 2
| data-label="Question" | What is the goal of [[Sir Grodus|Grodus]], leader of the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]]?
| data-label="Answer 1" | To conquer the world.
| data-label="Answer 2" | To get rich.
| data-label="Answer 3" | To become a superhero.
|-
! data-label="#" | 3
| data-label="Question" | What is the legendary treasure that waits behind the Thousand-Year Door?
| data-label="Answer 1" | 100,000,000 coins.
| data-label="Answer 2" | An extremely rare [[badge]].
| data-label="Answer 3" | A 1,000-year-old [[Shadow Queen|demon]]'s soul.
|-
! data-label="#" | 4
| data-label="Question" | What does Sir Grodus wish to do with this ancient demon's soul?
| data-label="Answer 1" | Cherish it always.
| data-label="Answer 2" | Bring the demon back to life.
| data-label="Answer 3" | Hang out with it.

Style changes

A table's style attribute can be used to make additional adjustments to the wikitable format. Here are two of the most basic style changes:

Adjust the table's width

style="width:50%"

Center all text within the table

style="text-align:center"

Multiple properties are separated by the ; character. Here's what the start of a table might look like with these properties applied:

{| class="wikitable center" style="width:50%;text-align:center"

Color customization

To customize the colors of the header cell row, add a line such as the following before the header cells are defined:

|- style="color:#fff;background:#FF2400"

To customize an individual cell, replace the leading | with syntax such as the following:

| style="background:#000" |

Example

Image	Name	Description
	Princess Toadstool	The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser kidnaps her to prevent her from reversing the magic the Koopa used on the Mushroom People. She appears in the final course, 8-4 where she thanks Mario for rescusing her and offers a "new quest" for him.
	Mushroom retainers	Seven Mushroom People that are servants of the princess and prisoners of the Koopa. They appear in every castle except for the final one. Mario can rescue a retainer by finishing a castle in World 1 to World 7. They'll say, "Thank you Mario/Luigi! But our princess is in another castle!"

Here is the source code for the above table:

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;text-align:center"
