Hello and welcome to Community Central. It sounds to me like you want to add to an established wiki and that the wiki already has a standard format for what you want to add. In these cases, it is usually best to ask for help on the particular wiki itself. The reason is that each wiki can potentially have a wildly different way of doing things. As such, you are likely to get the best answers from those who have made those types of edits before; and supposedly those editors are still hanging around that particular wiki.

As a general rule, times you want to come here are:
 * 1) You can't get sufficient help on the particular wiki
 * 2) *There may be no active editors on that wiki, just viewers
 * 3) *The active editors may not answer your question
 * 4) *The active editors may not know the answer
 * 5) *The active editors may not explain the answer well enough
 * 6) *Your question is about how to do something in general rather than for a particular wiki
 * 7) *Your are creating/starting/overhauling your own wiki (or helping someone else to do so)

That being said, here is some general advice:
 * 1) The VisualEditor and InfoboxBuilder provide sleek simplified interfaces for their respective editing tasks. However, they both can be buggy and do not offer a whole lot in terms of customization. Because of this, neither can be used to add/edit more intricate content. For that, you need to use the classic editor. The classic editor has a visual and a source mode. For the most complex content, you need to use the source mode. The source mode gives you direct access to all of a page's wikitext. For beginners, this can be hard to work with as it is literally a simple text document. The features that are added in other modes by simply pressing a button or whatnot are instead blocks of text with certain characters used to indicate what is what. Although this can be the most difficult mode for beginners to use, it offers the least buggy editing experience and the most control over the content (and how that content is displayed).
 * 2) If you want to do something similar or exactly like something that has already been done, it is often helpful to simply look at the page in edit mode and see how the other editors accomplished it. This is where #1 comes in. Depending on how complex their solution is, you may need to change which editor you use to view the page.

In this particular case, they place the voting charts on the pages as templates. For example, here is the template for season 1. Because the created it as a template, the season page itself simply contains

where the editors wanted the chart to be. If you look at the template using the editor, you will notice that it is basically just a table but they have used this template over and over to specify the color for each cell.
