http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TableEdit
For those who are new to the list, TableEdit is an extension to allow insertion of tables that are edited via a Special page instead of by editing wiki markup inline.
Version 0.6 fixes some bugs and adds some new features. * In the Special page display of the table, some template expansion is now done via Parser->preprocess() ... this may actually be a bad idea, but I'm experimenting with it. * Sites using the extension can now customize the "Create Table Here" link text to change depending on the template used.
As usual, I hope people find this useful and report bugs...and even better, bug fixes!

The good thing about releasing is that it almost invariably causes me to find bugs that should have been fixed before the release. TableEdit was working with of sortable.js, but when I used a colspan to hold the Edit Table link, it broke sorting. It seems that there are at least two solutions - put the link in a non-sorting bottom row with individual cells, which works but is kinda ugly, or wrap the whole table in a div (?) and put the Edit Table link there. When I tried the latter, I had a hard time getting the box around the table to be centered.
The question for all the css wizards out there: Any other ways I should consider?

Do you want the box around the table at all? Do you mean a box created by the div? Can you give us a link to your testing example?
Thanks. -Courtney
Here's a testing example on an accessible wiki

Unfortunately, this is on 1.8.3 so the sortable.js isn't active. The one on 1.9.3 is temporarily trapped behind the TAMU firewall... I hope to have it available by Monday or so. A login is needed to edit the page or the table. email me off the list if you want a login to play with it.
The design issue is that I want the Edit Table link to be associated with the table itself, which has to be placed within the constraints of wiki markup. Thanks for taking a look.

Hi Jim,
as a short notice: The linked demo-site on MW.org seems to be offline: http://ecoliwiki.net/colipedia/index.php/Special:TableEdit

Thanks. Should work now - I pointed it back to the old server. We're migrating to a new server and I forgot to ask IT to open port 80 outside the TAMU firewall. Since I do my work inside the firewall, I didn't notice the broken links. The new one should be opened up soon.
