Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to announce that the Table Progress Tracking feature is now available for all wikis! We've been testing this new utility with our communities for the past three weeks, and thanks to their invaluable collaboration, it's now ready for a full rollout.
An upgrade to your tables[]
This new feature allows you to track your personal progress directly within wiki tables. Whether you're completing actions in a video game, watching TV show episodes, or reading chapters of a book, this tool helps you keep tabs on what you've already done and plan your next steps. If you're browsing a table with useful information like collectibles, achievements, or missions, this is for you!
Until now, tables on wikis have mostly been static—useful for reference, but not something readers could really interact with, outside of sorting. This new progress tracking feature changes that. With a small edit, you can turn any regular table into an interactive checklist that lets each reader track their individual progress. This compares to progress tracking for maps, but now brings that same utility to a much wider range of pages, topics, and communities
How it works[]
Once a table has progress tracking added, you'll see a new column on its left side. This column includes a progress tracking icon in the header (or a label you can define) and clickable checkboxes for each row. Each user can then use these to save their personal progress.

If you know of a table on your wiki that would benefit from progress tracking, to begin using the feature simply adapt its code by wrapping it with the following parser tag:
<table-progress-tracking table-id="1" unique-column-index="1">
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Column 1 !! Column 2 !! Column 3
|-
| Row1-1 || Row1-2 || Row1-3
|-
| Row2-1 || Row2-2 || Row2-3
|-
| Row3-1 || Row3-2 || Row3-3
|-
| Row4-1 || Row4-2 || Row4-3
|}
</table-progress-tracking>
Having something similar to this example:
|
|
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Row1-1 | Row1-2 | Row1-3 |
|
|
Row2-1 | Row2-2 | Row2-3 |
|
|
Row3-1 | Row3-2 | Row3-3 |
|
|
Row4-1 | Row4-2 | Row4-3 |

During these three weeks, several communities have been testing and using the feature. You can see some live examples on Escape from Tarkov Wiki, Terraria Wiki, Core Keeper Wiki, Genshin Impact Wiki, Marvel Rivals Wiki or Clair Obscur Wiki.
A big thank you![]
We extend our sincere gratitude to all the communities that helped us during the testing phase. Your feedback, bug reports, and insights were crucial in refining this tool. For instance, your input helped us fix syntax highlighting, make Cargo tables compatible with the feature, and fix issues with sortability.
We're confident that this feature will significantly enhance your wiki experience, and we encourage you to implement it wherever you think it makes sense! Each community can decide which tables can use the feature or not, and it can be easily removed by just retiring the code.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on this new feature! Please let us know how you're enjoying it and share any feedback you might have.
