Wikipedia talk:Table dos and don'ts

Where did this come from?
I would hope that this guideline didn't really come from just two editors. What is going on?

 * Barbara: This page is not itself an authoritative guideline; as the template at the top indicates, it's an "information page": it's meant to summarize the authoritative guideline Manual of Style/Tables, which was written with the consensus of many, many editors. This page should be an accurate reflection of that one, but where there is doubt, the authoritative guideline, not this page, takes precedence. The value of information pages is that they offer a more-easily-digested form of the information, at the cost of detail and authority. I hope that clarifies it for you. — swpb T 15:38, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
