This page discusses when and how tables should be used on Wikipedia. For specific considerations of table style and accessibility, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Data tables tutorial. For technical guidance on how to create and edit tables, see Help:Table. This guideline is a part of the English Wikipedia's Manual of Style.
This is a quick overview of templates. Full details can be found in Help:Template, Wikipedia:Templates and m:Help:Advanced templates. A template is a Wikipedia page created to be included in other pages. It usually contains repetitive material that may need to show up on multiple articles or pages, often with customizable input.
A table is an arrangement of columns and rows that organizes and positions data or images. Tables can be created on Wikipedia pages using special wikitext syntax, and many different styles and tricks can be used to customise them. Tables can be used as formatting instrument, but consider using a multi column list instead.
TemplateStyles allow custom CSS pages to be used to style content without an interface administrator having to edit sitewide CSS. TemplateStyles make it more convenient for editors to style templates; for example, those templates for which the sitewide CSS for the mobile skin or another skin (e.g. Timeless) currently negatively affects the display of the template.

HTML attributes are often needed for various reasons. An attribute takes the basic form attribute="value", where combining multiple repeats this with attribute="value" attribute2="value2". Important points to realize: All table markup, except table end (|}), can have attributes added. Table and row markup ({| and |-) don't directly hold content.
inner or innercollapse: Uses the mw-collapsible innercollapse classes to make the table collapsible, but only collapse if the table is within a larger table with the outercollapse class. outer or outercollapse: Uses the outercollapse class to collapse any smaller tables within the table it that use the innercollapse class.
