Help:Tables

From Minecraft Wiki

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"`
A (row 2 cell 1) `rowspan="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)	F (row 4 cell 2) `rowspan="2" colspan="2"`
H (row 6 cell 1) `colspan="3"`

Collapsible tables

[edit source]

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

{| class="collapsible 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

Sticky tables

[edit source]

The header of a table can be made "sticky" so that it remains visible as the page is scrolled.

To make all of a table's headers sticky, add the stikitable class to the table.

{|class="wikitable stikitable ..."

The style attribute can be used to make only specific headers, or even non-header cells sticky.

Add style="position:sticky; top:0;" to cells to make them sticky.

 
{|class="wikitable"
! Header 1 !style="position:sticky; top:0;" | Sticky Header
...
|}

Examples:

A portion of a large table from Biome; it is not obvious what the values in the cells represent without referencing the headers.

Using tables in templates

[edit source]

Tables can sometimes be used as template parameters (inputs); however, the pipe (|) and equals (=) characters used to create tables can cause problems when used as template parameters.

One solution is to replace all instances of | and = with {{!}} and {{=}}, respectively; {{!!}} can be used to replace ||. This prevents the template from misinterpreting pipes and equals signs as part of the template call. Other table characters, such as ! or + do not need special handling.

Another option is to use the {{Pipe escape}} template, which converts all instances of | to !. The equals sign still needs to be replaced with {{=}}.

Note that the each row of the table must be located on a separate line.

Examples

{{FakeImage|
{{{!}}class{{=}}"wikitable"
{{!}}+Title
!Header 1 !! Header 2
{{!}}-
{{!}}Cell1 {{!!}} Cell2
{{!}}}
}}

Title
Header 1	Header 2
Cell1	Cell2

{{FakeImage|{{Pipe escape|
{|class{{=}}"wikitable"
|+Title
!Header 1 !! Header 2
|-
|Cell1 {{!!}} Cell2
|}}}
}}

Title
Header 1	Header 2
Cell1	Cell2

Using tables on talk pages

[edit source]

It is not possible to directly insert a table when replying to a message on a talk page. However, it is still possible to manually insert a table through the source editor.

To insert a table into your reply:

Make your reply as usual.
Click Edit source at the top of the page to open the source editor.
Find your comment and add the table at the desired location.
Add the appropriate level of indentation. Add a number of colons, ( : ) before the first line of the table ({|class=...) equal to the number of colons at the start of your comment.

Example:

Original comment.
:Reply to original comment.
::The part of your reply before the table.

::{|class="wikitable"
!Col A !! Col B
|-
|Row A1 || Row B1
|}

::The part of your reply after the table.
:Another reply to the original comment.

Produces:

Original comment.

Reply to original comment.

The part of your reply before the table.

Col A	Col B
Row A1	Row B1

The part of your reply after the table.

Another reply to the original comment.
