Hi, I want to use tables in mediawiki and the code that i use works but there is no layout. As a test, this should make a nice viewing table (example from a learning site):
{| class="prettytable" width="40%" ! Planten || Dieren |- | Gras || Koe |- | Eucalyptus || Koala |}
But I get just the text and no graphical table and looks in my wiki just like this:
Planten Dieren Gras Koe Eucalyptus Koala
Is there something i forgot ? Thnx, Ph.

Yes, the part 'class="prettytable"' results in the table getting a CSS class assigned to it. It is up to you to supply the styling needed (usually through the Mediawiki:Common.css page, but you could also use one of the skin specific css pages)
Hi, Thanks for the reply. Maybe a stupid question but where can I find MediaWiki:Common.css ? Thanks.

Philippe,
You can find that file by searching for it on your wiki. Here are three links which explain in more detail:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Stylesheets http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces
The mediawiki.org site has very good documentation. There is also a very good book "MediaWiki: The Definitive Guide" available from oreilly.com.

Right - you need to search for exactly "MediaWiki:Common.css"
The file common.css is in the namespace MediaWiki, which is not searched by default. (Although you can change that in "my preferences")

It is a wiki page in your wiki. In the Mediawiki namespace, which can be edited by users with sufficient rights.
Just go to it by replacing the Main_Page part of the URL with Mediawiki:Common.css
