"Tables

Currently wiki pipe table syntax doesn't work inside conditionals, but there
are some workarounds," [workarounds listed there aren't particularly useful].

No idea how Wikia gets it to work, but there are two workarounds I can
recommend (used extensively on a genealogy site where both workarounds
are used (http://www.middleton-stjohns.com) after much trial and error:

1) Use css instead of tables
    (well, this isn't a workaround - it's the "right" way :-)

2) Use Extension:Winter (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Winter)

Winter conditionals look like this:

{{#if||expr||true path||false path|}}

and it handles the pipe table syntax very well.

There is a third workaround (use HTML table syntax) but that isn't a
great solution...
