Misuise o this template

Inexperienced editors mey confuse this template wi the manual way o makin tables, an mix the twa, or otherwise make odd mistakes. For example, this text (that accomplishes nothing) mey appear within a page's wikimarkup: {{table}}. Tae prevent this frae occurrin, a message is displayed tae the uiser instructin them aboot misuise. Also, the page is added tae the Articles uising the table template incorrectly category. Efter the initial cleanup (aw instances o {{table}} were removed), it seems unlikely nou that someone would uise this template wrong because o the warnin message. But keep an ee on that category, just in case!
