Manual:VisualEditor/Tables/Examples

Tables are useful for clearly displaying information in the wiki. Just note that multi-column tables are not suitable for display on mobile devices, since table columns cannot wrap.

The background colors and formatting of the tables are copied into the page MediaWiki:Common.css:

                    table.portal {border-spacing: 20px 2px; border-collapse: separate;}
table.portal th, table.portal td {padding:10px; border:0; vertical-align:top;}

.tblue th {background-color:#CADAEA;}
.tblue td {background-color:#E0ECF8;}

.tyellow th {background-color:#F7E1B2;}
.tyellow td {background-color:#E0ECF8;}

.twhite th {background-color:#787878; color:#FFF;}
.twhite td {background-color:#FFF;}

.tgrey th {background-color:#ACB1CF; color:#FFF;}
.tgrey td {background-color:#E6E7EB}
