From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here's a simple wiki-table:

Players' score for the last three years
Name 2007 Score 2008 Score 2009 Score
Al 5 2 7
Gwendoline 12 4 3
Sayeed 8 2 11
Jo 6 4 3

Here's the same table marked up correctly to aid accessibility:

Players' score for the last three years
Name 2007 Score 2008 Score 2009 Score
Al 5 2 7
Gwendoline 12 4 3
Sayeed 8 2 11
Jo 6 4 3

Now the problem is that many editors strongly dislike the centring of 'Al', 'Gwendoline', 'Sayeed', 'Jo', and the markup is resisted for that reason alone. The resistance would disappear if .wikitable th[scope=row] {text-align: left;} were implemented. --RexxS (talk) 21:14, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
