Template:Table row counter/doc

This template counts the number of rows in wikitext tables. It does not work with nested tables, HTML tables, or tables contained in templates. It will also ignore  tags and  tags.

The template works by getting the wikitext source of a page and counting the number of tables in that source. This means that the template will not return the correct number of rows on preview, as it will still be using the old version of the page to count from. This also means that if there is more than one wikitext table on a page, you need to specify the number or the ID of the table manually.

Usage
Table ID

&#123;{table row counter|id=id}}

Table number

&#123;{table row counter|tableno=number}}

All parameters

&#123;{table row counter|id=id|tableno=number|ignore=number|page=pagename}}

Parameters

 * id - if specified, the template will decide which table to use by its ID. IDs can be assigned to wikitables by adding the text  to the first line of the table (the same line as the   code). IDs can consist only of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. Blank spaces are not permitted. Dashes do not work (for example a date range of 2000-2017). The template is particular in that the ID in the first line of the table must have quotes around it:    But the ID parameter in the template must NOT have quotes around it:
 * tableno - the number of the table to use, if there is more than one table on the page. Defaults to 1.
 * ignore - the number of rows to ignore. If specified, the template subtracts this number of rows from the count. This is useful if you do not need to count header rows at the top or bottom. Count rows, not lines of text within those rows.
 * page - the page to work on. Defaults to the current page.
