Summary
Review of what you've learned




When you use the toolbar button to insert a table, it actually inserts markup text into the article for you to edit. There are two common ways to lay out this markup that you amy see around Wikipedia:



Both of which look like:

Caption
Header C1 Header C2 Header C3
R1C1 R1C2 R1C3
R2C1 R2C2 R2C3


All you have to do is place this where you want it in the article, edit it to match the information you're trying to display, and hit save. You can add more headers by adding more entries in the header section, more rows, or remove headers or rows if you're looking for a smaller table.
