Tables

{|	table start
|+	table caption, optional; only between table start and first table row
|-	table row, optional on first row -- wiki engine assumes the first row
!	table header cell, optional. Consecutive table header cells may be added on same line separated by double marks (!!) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (!).
|	table data cell, required! Consecutive table data cells may be added on same line separated by double marks (||) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (|).
|}	table end |} Tables of Contents MediaWiki adds a table of contents at the top of the page when you have four or more headers. To change this behavior, at the top of the page, add: __NOTOC__ Hides the table of contents (TOC). __FORCETOC__ Forces the table of contents to appear at its normal position (before the first header). __TOC__ Places a table of contents at the word's current position (overriding __NOTOC__).
