Sortable tables
It would be good to add a section on making tables sortable using class="wikitable sortable"

Meta-Wiki links
It would be good to explain right at the top that the Meid wiki help page on tables is more comprehensive and taht this is a simplified version and experienced users of wikipedia or wikia might like to go straight there.Investoman 02:11, 22 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Added a link under the markup section, and tweaked the see also link. Kirkburn (talk) 23:42, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Bio Box?
Alright, I'm not sure if this is the right place to come to, but would this article be useful in creating a small bio box on the top of pages? EX: Jeff Gordon, you list his hometown, racing career, stats, ect... in it. It's usually on the top right of pages.


 * Yes, and you may be also be interested in Help:Templates. Kirkburn (talk) 18:20, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Color
I don't understand how to put color in a table.

Not playing nice with fixed width
The Help:Tables page over at The Vault is not formatting correctly since our recent change to fixed width pages. I wonder if there can be a fix for this?--Gothemasticator 05:55, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Best thing to do is disable the fixed width at help pages. Mark  ( talk ) 16:15, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it's the easiest thing to do but I'm not sure it's the best. If help pages have display issues on fixed-width-wikis, they have display issues on 1024*768 resolution as well - which is still a very common resolution. The fixes required for this page aren't that extensive - I can patch it up if people don't mind. -- Porter21 (talk) 08:33, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Headers are changed on simple edits
Most times when I try to make a simple spelling change to text in any table at castleage.wikia.com, I end up corrupting the headers. This happens both in source view and the icon view modes. I've tried Firefox (the last few versions, failed on 3.6.11 today), Chrome (latest few versions, failed on 7.0.517.41 today) and Opera (latest few versions, failed in 10.63 today). Trying to make a simple change ends up showing the following type of thing on a preview:

Note that I'm only trying to make a simple spelling change on line 179, no formatting changes of any kind. The other changes are happening in the background somehow. The result varies between browsers, but is wrong in some way in all of them. Firefox and Chrome spit out raw wikia format line(s) from the table headers above the table (&#124;- valign="bottom" !width="125px"&#124; !width="50px"&#124;Image !width="50px"&#124;Type !Attack !Defense !Initial Cost !Incremental Cost(Per Unit) !Upkeep !Battle Points Needed) and display no formatted table headers. Opera adds the columns for row 1 as a new set of column headers beside the first set of column headers, making the table double width, displaying rows 2+ under the proper columns. I'm not sure if this is a wikia problem directly or something with the Castle Age page, but folks there don't seem to understand the problem, so I figured I'd post the feedback here. I'm submitting the changes anonymously, so perhaps something funny is happening with default permissions or similar with anonymous submissions?

Source mode Code
For some reason, a article is NOWYSIWYG and I'm trying to add a table, but I need to know how in source mode. -- 21:07, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Scroll
How can I make a scrolling table just like this here: 1 on the tab - "Einal"? MisSkitty 16:15, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
