==Tables==
Tables are a little tricky to cover in depth without taking up a ton of space. So for more detailed information, check out Wikipedia's table page <s>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_%28furniture%29 here].</s> [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Here].

Tables are similar to templates, mostly just because they are a type of coding that define stuff. Most templates end up using a table of some sort to make it look pretty anyways. An extremely simple table works like so:

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><pre>{| class="wikitable" 
|-
! One || Two
|-
| Three || Four
|}</pre></div>

Gives us

{| class="wikitable" 
|-
! One || Two
|-
| Three || Four
|}
Each part of the code defines where it belongs and what it does. The '''{|''' and '''|}''' are the opening and closing brackets of our table, they indicate the start and the end. The '''class="wikitable"''' defines the style of the table borders. Instead, you could replace the class with '''border=''' and define the size and style of the border. The '''|-''' indicates the end of a row, and adding a new line after it will make an extra row beneath it. The '''!''' defines the row to be a title of sorts, which also defaults the text to be centered in the box. In the case of the '''class="wikitable"''', it makes the row a different color. The '''||''' marks the end of the box, and any data past it will be in the next box over.
To add more to a table, simple add a column with '''||''', or add a new row by making a new line and adding '''|-''' then another line and '''|'''.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><pre>
{| class="wikitable" 
|-
! One || Two || Five 
|-
| Three || Four || Six
|-
| One || More || Time
|}</pre></div>

{| class="wikitable" 
|-
! One || Two || Five 
|-
| Three || Four || Six
|-
| One || More || Time
|}
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><pre>
{| class="wikitable" || style="text-align: center;"
|-
|style="background: blue; color: white" | X ||style="background: blue; color: white" | One ||style="background: blue; color: white" | Two ||style="background: blue; color: white" | Three
|-
|style="background: blue; color: white" | One || 1  || 2 || 3
|-
|style="background: blue; color: white" | Two || 2 || 4 || 6
|-
|style="background: blue; color: white" | Three || 3 || 6 || 9
|}</pre></div>

{| class="wikitable" | style="text-align: center;"
|-
|style="background: blue; color: white" | X ||style="background: blue; color: white" | One ||style="background: blue; color: white" | Two ||style="background: blue; color: white" | Three
|-
|style="background: blue; color: white" | One || 1  || 2 || 3
|-
|style="background: blue; color: white" | Two || 2 || 4 || 6
|-
|style="background: blue; color: white" | Three || 3 || 6 || 9
|}

And a sortable table:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><pre>
{| class="wikitable sortable" border="1"
|-
! scope="col" | *
! scope="col" | A
! scope="col" | B
! scope="col" class="unsortable" | C
! scope="col" class="unsortable" | D
|-
!E
| 1 || 4 || 2 || 6
|-
!F
| 2 || 8 || 4 || 1
|-
!G
| 0 || 4 || 1 || 2
|-
!H
| 3 || 6 || 9 || 1
|-
|}</pre></div>

{| class="wikitable sortable" border="1"
|-
! scope="col" | *
! scope="col" | A
! scope="col" | B
! scope="col" class="unsortable" | C
! scope="col" class="unsortable" | D
|-
!E
| 1 || 4 || 2 || 6
|-
!F
| 2 || 8 || 4 || 1
|-
!G
| 0 || 4 || 1 || 2
|-
!H
| 3 || 6 || 9 || 1
|-
|}
