it also matches (partially) on templates. But that's ok.
s/\{\|.+?\|\}//gs would do a lot better, since wikitables
start in "{|" and end in "|}" and would not touch

But that would sometimes grab more than just one table.

Not with the lazy quantifier +?: /.+?\|\}/ means "as few chars
as possible up to an "|}"; thus the match will stop at the
first "|}", and thus at most one table can participate in
each match. Contrast /.+\|\}/ without the ? which will
match everything up to the last "|}" in the string/file.
(Ignoring for the sake of uncluttering the /s modifier
necessary to have .+? or .+ match spans including newlines!)
