<gurch>Well... someone better figure out something soon...

This is a namespace to put tables in. That is, if you don't feel like using the already established template namespace or just adding the table to the page.

All pages in this namespace (and its talk space)</gurch>

Purpose

The purpose of the table namespace is to provide a WYSIWYG editor of tables. The current table namespace doesn't do that, but it can still be used to:

  1. Hold verifiable data, either numerical or in "yes"/"no" format
  2. Be transcludable in articles as supplementary (not absolutely essential) information

The table namespace should not be used when:

  1. The article itself is meant to be a list
  2. The data presented in the table is possibly subjective; for example, a plot summary.

Format

See Table:Example for a suggestion
