About

Tables can help to organize otherwise messy content coverage. There are several types of tables and variables to consider when crafting a new table. Generally, the choice becomes obvious after the mess is reigned in by creating a Basic Table to start with. The amount of wiki-markup and planning for some of the more complex tables may seem daunting, but a simple copy/paste from these examples and changing the variables for your project eases the task. Experiment in the Sandbox if necessary; and never hesitate to ask for help. If all else fails, simply resort to requesting a table in the talk page of an article.

This is an example of a basic table. These are excellent starting points to learn how to create tables- or even as a start to clean up a page before creating a more complex table.
