Keep wikipedia simple!
That's what the template system is for -- moving tables, HTML etc. out of
the articles and into templates that can be optimized by people who like
doing that sort of thing. Other people just have to edit something
extremely simple like
|Country table
|Name => Germany
|____
|Navigation
|Next => Dogs
|Previous => Cats
|____
