how can I get a table to have specified columns widths and to be a certain colour with a certain colour of text? I can only do one at a time the minute

for example could somebody make a sample 3x3 table with specified column widths, a blue header column with white text, centre aligned

- The page Help:Table should help you a lot with your question, too. Now for your question:

To make a table, click 'Advanced' in the edit toolbar, then click, or if you are using the Monobook skin, click. The following markup will appear:  That is pretty much self-explanatory. Now for the fun part:

Help:Table: To set column widths, add

before the header name, like this:  Which will produce

Help:Table: To set the background color (e.g. blue) and text color (e.g. white) for a single cell, add

before the text in that cell, and for a single row, add

right after the. Also, to align text in a cell as 'center', add align="center". For example:  Which will produce:

Note that there is no way to have several Header cells in a single column. Header cells have to be in a single row at the top of the table, as far as I know. Also, it is not possible to have a single header cell at the top, with multiple columns below, unless you put a table in a table (see Help:Table), however, the use of this is discouraged.

If you have any more questions just ask here or on my talk page. Thanks, Samwb123T-C-E 19:25, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Flags in infoboxes
Please stop adding the ru template to rugby players' inboxes. There is no need for the flag to be there, so please just use a plain link to the national team article. – PeeJay 00:02, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Stephen Jones (rugby player)
I don't know if you're incapable of comprehending me or if you're just choosing not to, but I have told you already to stop conflating Stephen Jones' spells with Llanelli RFC and with the Scarlets. They are separate clubs and players' stats for each should not be merged. If you revert me again, I will report you to an admin. – PeeJay 20:19, 19 July 2013 (UTC) I shall support you if required. –&#32; –&#32; Gareth Griffith-Jones &#124; The Welsh Buzzard&#124; — 09:35, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
