{{Shortcut|1|H:TABLE}}
'''Tables''' can be created on Bulbapedia pages in [[Help:Source Editor|Source Editor]] using special [[Help:Wikicode|wikicode]] syntax, and many different styles and tricks can be used to customise them.

For a guide on how tables work in the VisualEditor, see [[Help:VisualEditor#Editing tables|Help:VisualEditor § Editing tables]].

==Wiki table markup summary==
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Description
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| <pre>{|</pre>
| style="padding: 5px;" | '''Table start''' (''required'')
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| <pre>|+</pre>
| style="padding: 5px;" | Table '''caption'''; only between '''table start''' and '''table row''' (''optional'')
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| <pre>|-</pre>
| style="padding: 5px;" | '''Table row''' (''optional on first row - wiki engine assumes the first row'')
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| <pre>!</pre>
| style="padding: 5px;" | '''Table header''' cell (''optional'') <br />Consecutive table header cells may be added on same line separated by double marks <code>!!</code> or start on new lines, each with its own single mark <code>!</code> 
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| <pre>|</pre>
| style="padding: 5px;" | '''Table data''' cell (''optional'') <br />Consecutive table data cells may be added on same line separated by double marks <code><nowiki>||</nowiki></code> or start on new lines, each with its own single mark <code><nowiki>|</nowiki></code>
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | '''Table end''' (''required'')
|}
*The above marks must ''start on a new line'', except the double marks (<code>||</code> and <code>!!</code>) for optionally adding consecutive cells to a single line.
*''Blank spaces'' at the beginning of a line are ignored.
*''Content'' may either follow its cell mark on the same line (after any optional HTML attributes); or on lines below the cell mark (beware of undesired paragraphs though). Content that uses wiki markup that itself needs to start on a new line, such as with lists, headings, or nested tables, must be on its own new line.
*To insert a ''pipe character'' (<code>|</code>) into a table caption or cell, use the <code>&lt;nowiki&gt;|&lt;/nowiki&gt;</code> escaping markup or <code><nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki></code>.

'''HTML attributes'''

Each mark, except table end (<code><nowiki>|}</nowiki></code>), optionally accepts one or more [[#HTML attributes|HTML attributes]]. Attributes must be on the same line as the mark.

*''Cells'' and ''captions'' (<code>|</code> or <code>||</code>, <code>!</code> or <code>!!</code>, and <code>|+</code>) hold ''content''—separate any attribute from its content with a single pipe (<code>|</code>), with attributes preceding content.
*''Table'' and ''row'' marks (<code>{|</code> and <code>|-</code>) do not directly hold content. Do ''not'' add a pipe (<code>|</code>) after any attributes.

Commonly included attributes in tables include: <code>class</code>, for example <code>class="roundy"</code>; <code>style</code>, for CSS styling; <code>scope</code>, to indicate row or column header cells; <code>rowspan</code>, to extend cells by more than one row; <code>colspan</code>, to extend cells by more than one column.

==Basics==
The following table lacks borders and good spacing but shows the simplest wiki markup table structure.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{|
| Kanto
| Johto
|-
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{|
| Kanto
| Johto
|-
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
|-
| Poké Ball
| Ultra Ball
|}
|}

The cells in the same row can be listed on one line separated by <code>||</code> (two pipe symbols). If the text in the cell should contain a line break, use ‎<code><nowiki><br /></nowiki></code> instead.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{|
| Kanto|| Johto || more
|-
| Bulbasaur || Charmander || more
|-
| Poké Ball || Ultra<br />Ball || and<br />more
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{|
| Kanto|| Johto || more
|-
| Bulbasaur || Charmander || more
|-
| Poké Ball || Ultra<br />Ball || and<br />more
|}
|}

Extra spaces within cells in the wiki markup, as in the wiki markup below, do not affect the actual table rendering.

{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{|
|    Kanto|| Johto || more
|-
|      Bulbasaur || Charmander || more
|-
|      Poké Ball || Ultra<br />Ball || and<br />more
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{|
|    Kanto|| Johto || more
|-
|      Bulbasaur || Charmander || more
|-
|      Poké Ball || Ultra<br />Ball || and<br />more
|}
|}

You can have longer text or more complex wiki syntax inside table cells, too:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{|
|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,

|
* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
* consetetur sadipscing elitr
* sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{|
|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,

|
* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
* consetetur sadipscing elitr
* sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt
|}
|}

===Table headers===
Table headers can be created by using <code>!</code> (exclamation mark) instead of <code>|</code> (pipe symbol). Headers usually show up bold and centered by default.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{|
! style="text-align:left;" | Pokémon
! HP
! Attack
|-
| Bulbasaur
| 45
| 49
|-
| Ivysaur
| 60
| 62
|-
| Venusaur
| 80
| 82
|-
! Mega Venusaur
| 80
| 100
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{|
! style="text-align:left;" | Pokémon
! HP
! Attack
|-
| Bulbasaur
| 45
| 49
|-
| Ivysaur
| 60
| 62
|-
| Venusaur
| 80
| 82
|-
! Mega Venusaur
| 80
| 100
|}
|}
When using attributes as in the heading "Pokémon" a vertical bar <code>|</code> is used for separation. Not an exclamation character <code>!</code>.

===Caption===
A table caption can be added to the top of any table as follows.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{|
|+ First partner Pokémon
|-
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
|-
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{|
|+ First partner Pokémon
|-
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
|-
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
|}
|}

===class="wikitable"===
Basic styling (light gray background, borders, padding and align left) can be achieved by adding <code>class="wikitable"</code>. On Bulbapedia, <code>[[#Roundy tables|class="roundy"]]</code> is preferred.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable"
|+ First partner Pokémon
|-
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
|-
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="wikitable"
|+ First partner Pokémon
|-
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
|-
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
|}
|}

===HTML colspan and rowspan===
You can use HTML <code>colspan</code> and <code>rowspan</code> attributes on cells for advanced layout.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable"
! colspan="6" | Stats
|-
| rowspan="2" | Bulbausaur
| HP
| Attack
| Defense
| colspan="2" | Sp. Atk & Def
|-
| 45
| colspan="2" | 49
| 65
| 65
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="wikitable"
!colspan="6"|Stats
|-
|rowspan="2"|Bulbausaur
|HP
|Attack
|Defense
|colspan="2"|Sp. Atk & Def
|-
|45
|colspan="2"|49
|65
|65
|}
|}

==HTML attributes==
You can add HTML attributes to tables. 
===Attributes on tables===
Placing attributes after the table start tag (<code>{|</code>) applies attributes to the entire table.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; color: green;"
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
| 10
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
| 100
|-
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
| 1000
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; color: green;"
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
| 10
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
| 100
|-
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
| 1000
|}
|}

===Attributes on cells===
You can put attributes on individual cells. For example, numbers may look better aligned right.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable"
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
| style="text-align: right;" | 10
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
| style="text-align: right;" | 100
|-
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
| style="text-align: right;" | 1000
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="wikitable"
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
| style="text-align: right;" | 10
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
| style="text-align: right;" | 100
|-
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
| style="text-align: right;" | 1000
|}
|}

You can also use cell attributes when you are listing multiple cells on a single line. '''Note''' that the cells are separated by <code>||</code>, and within each cell the attribute(s) and value are separated by <code>|</code>.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable"
| Bulbasaur || Charmander || style="text-align: right;" | 10
|-
| Squirtle || Pikachu || style="text-align: right;" | 100
|-
| Chikorita || Cyndaquil || style="text-align: right;" | 1000
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="wikitable"
| Bulbasaur || Charmander || style="text-align: right;" | 10
|-
| Squirtle || Pikachu || style="text-align: right;" | 100
|-
| Chikorita || Cyndaquil || style="text-align: right;" | 1000
|}
|}

===Attributes on rows===
You can put attributes on individual rows, too.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable"
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
| style="text-align: right;" | 10
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
| style="text-align: right;" | 100
|- style="font-style: italic; color: green;"
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
| style="text-align: right;" | 1000
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="wikitable"
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
| style="text-align: right;" | 10
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
| style="text-align: right;" | 100
|- style="font-style: italic; color: green;"
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
| style="text-align: right;" | 1000
|}
|}

===Attributes on caption and headers===
Attributes can be added to the caption and headers.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable"
|+ style="caption-side: bottom; color: #4682B4;" | ''First partner Pokémon''
|-
! style="color: green" | Kanto
! style="color: orange" | Johto
|-
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
|-
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
|- 
| Squirtle
| Totodile
|-
| Pikachu 
|
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="wikitable"
|+ style="caption-side: bottom; color: #4682B4;" | ''First partner Pokémon''
|-
! style="color: green" | Kanto
! style="color: orange" | Johto
|-
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
|-
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
|- 
| Squirtle
| Totodile
|-
| Pikachu 
|
|}
|}

===Border width===
If <code>border-width:</code> has only one number, it is for all four border sides:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| style="border-style: solid; border-width: 20px"
| Hello World
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| style="border-style: solid; border-width: 20px"
| Hello World
|}
|}

If <code>border-width:</code> has more than one number, the four numbers are for ''top'', ''right'', ''bottom'', ''left'' ('''Remember''' clockwise order ↑→↓←):
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| style="border-style: solid; border-width: 10px 20px 100px 0"
| Hello World
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| style="border-style: solid; border-width: 10px 20px 100px 0"
| Hello World
|}
|}

Another method to define the widths of the four sides of a cell is to use <code>border-left</code>, <code>border-right</code>, <code>border-top</code> and <code>border-bottom</code>:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| style="border-left: solid 10px black; border-right: solid 20px black; border-top: solid 30px black; border-bottom: solid 40px black;" 
| Hello World
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| style="border-left: solid 10px black; border-right: solid 20px black; border-top: solid 30px black; border-bottom: solid 40px black;" 
| Hello World
|}
|}

===Padding===
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class=wikitable 
| style="padding: 10px" | Example of <code>style="padding: 10px"</code>
|-
| style="padding: 50px" | Example of <code>style="padding: 50px"</code> 
Specify the padding on '''EACH CELL'''
|-
| style="padding:100px" | Example of <code>style="padding: 100px"</code>
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class=wikitable 
| style="padding: 10px" | Example of <code>style="padding: 10px"</code>
|-
| style="padding: 50px" | Example of <code>style="padding: 50px"</code> 
Specify the padding on '''EACH CELL'''
|-
| style="padding:100px" | Example of <code>style="padding: 100px"</code>
|}
|}

===Column width===
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px; width: 100%;"
|-
! Markup
| style="background: #FFF; {{roundytr|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable" style="width: 85%;"
| colspan="2" | This column width is 85% of the area width
|-
| style="width: 30%"| '''This column is 30% counted from 85% of the area width'''
| style="width: 70%"| '''This column is 70% counted from 85% of the area width'''
|}</pre>
|-
! Result
| style="background: #FFF; padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 85%;"
| colspan="2" | This column width is 85% of the area width
|-
| style="width: 30%"| '''This column is 30% counted from 85% of the area width'''
| style="width: 70%"| '''This column is 70% counted from 85% of the area width'''
|}
|}



==Alignment==
===Table alignment===
Table alignment is achieved by using CSS. The table alignment is controlled by margins. A fixed margin on one side will make the table aligned to that side, if on the opposite side the margin is defined as <code>auto</code>. To have a table center aligned, you should set both margins to <code>auto</code>.

For example, a right-aligned table:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px; "
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: 0px;"
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
|-
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}}; width: 300px;" | 
{| class="wikitable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: 0px;"
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
|-
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
|}
|}

And a center-aligned table:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px; "
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable" style="margin: auto;"
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
|-
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}}; width: 300px;" | 
{| class="wikitable" style="margin: auto;"
| Bulbasaur
| Charmander
|-
| Squirtle
| Pikachu
|-
| Chikorita
| Cyndaquil
|}
|}

===Table floating around text===
If you align a table to the right or the left side of the page, the text that comes after the table starts at the end of it, leaving an empty space around the table. You can make the text wrap around the table by making the table to ''float'' around the text instead of just aligning it. This can be achieved using the <code>float</code> CSS attribute, which can specify where the table floats to the right side or to the left. When using ''float'', margins doesn't control table alignment and can be used to specify the margin between the table and the surrounding text.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px; "
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}}; width: 400px;" | <pre>{| class="wikitable" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"

|}

===Cell contents alignment===
The alignment of cell contents can be controlled with 2 different CSS properties: <code>text-align</code> and <code>vertical-align</code>. <code>text-align</code> can be specified at the table, row or individual cells, while <code>vertical-align</code> only can be specified at individual rows or cells.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px; "

| style="height: 100px; width: 100px; text-align: right;" | I
|}
|}

==Classes==
There are several other CSS classes, besides the basic <code>class=wikitable</code>, that can be used in tables.

===Collapsible tables===
{{shortcut|1|H:COLLAPSE}}
Classes can be used to collapse tables, so they are hidden by default. Use the class <code>mw-collapsible</code> to enable collapsing behaviour. By default, a collapsible table begins expanded. To change this, add the additional class <code>mw-collapsed</code>.

Tables with captions will collapse to the table caption. The header will not be visible when collapsed. Use <code><nowiki><span style="white-space: nowrap;">...</span></nowiki></code> to keep the caption from being fit into a tiny vertical column when the table is collapsed.

===Sortable tables===
{{shortcut|1|H:SORT}}
Tables can be made sortable by adding <code>class=sortable</code>.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Pokémon
! HP
! Attack
|-
| Bulbasaur
| 45
| 49
|-
| Ivysaur
| 60
| 62
|-
| Venusaur
| 80
| 82
|-
| Mega Venusaur
| 80
| 100
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Pokémon
! HP
! Attack
|-
| Bulbasaur
| 45
| 49
|-
| Ivysaur
| 60
| 62
|-
| Venusaur
| 80
| 82
|-
| Mega Venusaur
| 80
| 100
|}
|}

If you want a specific column not to be sortable, specify <code>class="unsortable"</code> in the attributes of its header cell.
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable sortable"
! class="unsortable" | Pokémon
! HP
! Attack
|-
| Bulbasaur
| 45
| 49
|-
| Ivysaur
| 60
| 62
|-
| Venusaur
| 80
| 82
|-
| Mega Venusaur
| 80
| 100
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! class="unsortable" | Pokémon
! HP
! Attack
|-
| Bulbasaur
| 45
| 49
|-
| Ivysaur
| 60
| 62
|-
| Venusaur
| 80
| 82
|-
| Mega Venusaur
| 80
| 100
|}
|}

Sometimes it is helpful to exclude the last row of a table from the sorting process. This can be achieved using <code>class="sortbottom"</code> on the desired table row (line starting with <code>|-</code>):
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Pokémon
! HP
! Attack
|-
| Bulbasaur
| 45
| 49
|-
| Ivysaur
| 60
| 62
|-
| Venusaur
| 80
| 82
|-
| Mega Venusaur
| 80
| 100
|- class="sortbottom"
| Total
| 265
| 293
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Pokémon
! HP
! Attack
|-
| Bulbasaur
| 45
| 49
|-
| Ivysaur
| 60
| 62
|-
| Venusaur
| 80
| 82
|-
| Mega Venusaur
| 80
| 100
|- class="sortbottom"
| Total
| 265
| 293
|}
|}

Sortable tables can also be made collapsable:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
! Pokémon
! HP
! Attack
|-
| Bulbasaur
| 45
| 49
|-
| Ivysaur
| 60
| 62
|-
| Venusaur
| 80
| 82
|-
| Mega Venusaur
| 80
| 100
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
! Pokémon
! HP
! Attack
|-
| Bulbasaur
| 45
| 49
|-
| Ivysaur
| 60
| 62
|-
| Venusaur
| 80
| 82
|-
| Mega Venusaur
| 80
| 100
|}
|}

<div style="border: 2px solid #fc3; background:#fff9ea; {{roundy}}; padding:3px; margin: 6px 0 6px 0;">
[[File:OOjs UI icon lightbulb-yellow.png|25px]] Note that sortable tables will not render properly on mobile, and will instead appear as a normal table.
</div>

===Roundy tables===
{{shortcut|1|H:ROUNDY}}
Bulbapedia has an in-house style for tables, which is best achieved using <code>class="roundy"</code>, rather than <code>class="wikitable"</code>.

A basic roundy table looks like this:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="roundy" style="background: red; padding: 2px;"
! Kanto
! Johto
! Hoenn
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
| Treecko
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
| Torchic
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Squirtle
| Totodile
| Mudkip
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="roundy" style="background: red; padding: 2px;"
! Kanto
! Johto
! Hoenn
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
| Treecko
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
| Torchic
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Squirtle
| Totodile
| Mudkip
|}
|}

Note that the corners of the bottom row of cells cut into the border of the table. 

This can be fixed by adding {{template|roundybl}} and {{template|roundybr}} to the <code>style=</code> parameter of the affected cells:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="roundy" style="background: red; padding: 2px;"
! Kanto
! Johto
! Hoenn
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
| Treecko
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
| Torchic
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | Squirtle
| Totodile
| style="{{roundybr|6px}};" | Mudkip
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="roundy" style="background: red; padding: 2px;"
! Kanto
! Johto
! Hoenn
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
| Treecko
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
| Torchic
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | Squirtle
| Totodile
| style="{{roundybr|6px}};" | Mudkip
|}
|}

It is also possible to change the radius of the table's corners by adding {{template|roundy}}:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px; "
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="roundy" style="background: red; padding: 2px; {{roundy|20px}};"
! Kanto
! Johto
! Hoenn
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
| Treecko
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
| Torchic
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|16px}};" | Squirtle
| Totodile
| style="{{roundybr|16px}};" | Mudkip
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="roundy" style="background: red; padding: 2px; {{roundy|20px}};"
! Kanto
! Johto
! Hoenn
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
| Treecko
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
| Torchic
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|16px}};" | Squirtle
| Totodile
| style="{{roundybr|16px}};" | Mudkip
|}
|}

Roundy tables can also be made sortable and collapsable:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px;"
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="roundy sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: red; padding: 2px;"
! Kanto
! Johto
! Hoenn
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
| Treecko
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
| Torchic
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | Squirtle
| Totodile
| style="{{roundybr|6px}};" | Mudkip
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="roundy sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: red; padding: 2px;"
! Kanto
! Johto
! Hoenn
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
| Treecko
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
| Torchic
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | Squirtle
| Totodile
| style="{{roundybr|6px}};" | Mudkip
|}
|}

====Colors====
When adding colors to a table, it is often best to use one of Bulbapedia's predefined colors, rather than a color name or hex code (the exceptions being black <code>#000</code> or white <code>#FFF</code>).

This is done by using a [[Help:Color templates|color template]]:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px; "
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{white color dark}}; padding: 2px;"
! Kanto
! Johto
! Hoenn
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
| Treecko
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
| Torchic
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | Squirtle
| Totodile
| style="{{roundybr|6px}};" | Mudkip
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{white color dark}}; padding: 2px;"
! Kanto
! Johto
! Hoenn
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
| Treecko
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
| Torchic
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | Squirtle
| Totodile
| style="{{roundybr|6px}};" | Mudkip
|}
|}
Always remember to include the <code>#</code> before a color template.

It is also important that any text is easy to read by ensuring there is enough contrast:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{bulba color}}; padding: 2px; "
|-
! Markup
! Result
|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | <pre>{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{white color light}}; padding: 2px;"
! Kanto
! Johto
! Hoenn
|- style="background: #{{black color dark}}; color: #FFF;"
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
| Treecko
|- style="background: #{{black color dark}}; color: #FFF;"
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
| Torchic
|- style="background: #{{black color dark}}; color: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | Squirtle
| Totodile
| style="{{roundybr|6px}};" | Mudkip
|}</pre>
| style="padding: 5px; {{roundybr|6px}};" | 
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{white color light}}; padding: 2px;"
! Kanto
! Johto
! Hoenn
|- style="background: #{{black color dark}}; color: #FFF;"
| Bulbasaur
| Chikorita
| Treecko
|- style="background: #{{black color dark}}; color: #FFF;"
| Charmander
| Cyndaquil
| Torchic
|- style="background: #{{black color dark}}; color: #FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|6px}};" | Squirtle
| Totodile
| style="{{roundybr|6px}};" | Mudkip
|}
|}
