Tables can be used within the wiki to present data in a tabular format. While most pages have templates set up for this purpose (for more information see [[Help:Templates]]) it may be necessary in some circumstances to add custom tables to a page, for this you need to use wiki syntax.

===Basic Syntax===
{| style="float:right;"
! colspan = "2" | Basic Syntax
|-
!Description
!Syntax
|-
|Start Table
|<nowiki>{|</nowiki> ''Attributes (If needed)''
|-
|Table Header
|<nowiki>!Header goes here</nowiki>
|-
|Table Cell
|<nowiki>|</nowiki> ''Attributes (If Needed)'' <nowiki>| Text/Images</nowiki>
|-
|New Row
|<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
|-
|End Table
|<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
|}

Basic table syntax is shown in the table to the right, there are 5 main things needed when creating tables. Firstly the table needs to be started for this '''<nowiki>{|</nowiki>''' is used.

Next to add a header '''<nowiki>!</nowiki>''' is used, this is then repeated (on new lines) depending on the amount of columns wanted. For example

!Header Goes Here

To create a new row '''<nowiki>|-</nowiki>''' is then needed.

Then a standard cell simply needs a vertical bar '''<nowiki>|</nowiki>''' to start it. For example

|Cell Contents goes here

Then to end the table is simply the reverse of starting the table '''|}'''

====An Example====

<nowiki> {|
!Heading 1
!Heading 2
|-
|Row 1, Column 1
|Row 1, Column 2
|-
|Row 2, Column 1
|Row 2, Column 2
|}</nowiki>

{|
!Heading 1
!Heading 2
|-
|Row 1, Column 1
|Row 1, Column 2
|-
|Row 2, Column 1
|Row 2, Column 2
|}
