<noinclude>[[Category:General table templates]]</noinclude>{|BORDER=1 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=2 STYLE="border-style:solid; border-collapse:collapse; empty-cells:show; background-color:#f9f9f9;" WIDTH={{{width|100%}}} ALIGN={{{align|center}}} | <noinclude>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, and avoid using this template when making new tables. You can use the [[wikipedia:Help:Table|standard table syntax]] directly, or else open a table with <tt>{| class="wikitable"</tt> to get similar formatting. You can even use the Smart Table button in our [[XEB|extended editing toolbar]] to get a wizard for magically creating a customized wikitable. | |||
And remember, kids, if Wikipedia's not doing something a certain way, then it's probably not a good idea.
