Template:Table

Easily our worst template, Table defies all laws of sensible wiki editing. Transcluding it opens a table that needs to be closed manually. It ignores the existence of a nearly-identical pre-defined table class, "wikitable". And it's long been used as our standard method of making a table, in too many places to sanely contemplate fixing.

Please do not exacerbate the problem; avoid using this template when making new tables. The proper method to create a table is {| class="wikitable", which yields similar formatting to this template. Add in the class "sortable" – {| class="wikitable sortable" – to get a sortable table. See Wikipedia's Help:Table page for details on table usage.

As an OniGalore bonus feature, you can further make tables auto-sort by any column you desire. See the bottom of the MediaWiki:Common documentation page for details.
