Editing Help:Table (section)

=== Visual editor ===
{{hatnote|See: [[Help:Tables and VisualEditor]]. And: [[Help:Creating tables#Tables and visual editor]].}}
With the [[Wikipedia:Visual Editor|visual editor]] (VE) you directly fill in the cells without having to go through wikitext. VE makes it easy to add or delete rows or columns. In VE this is what shows up when clicking the table icon (in the "Insert" menu):
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!
!
!
!
|-
|
|
|
|
|-
|
|
|
|
|-
|
|
|
|
|}

For more complex table structures, Visual editor offers cell-merging operations; see details [[Help:Introduction to tables with VisualEditor/2|here]].

In addition, it is usually possible to add or import a table that exists elsewhere (e.g., in a spreadsheet, on another website) directly into the visual editor by:
* dragging and dropping a [[.csv]] file into the visual editor, or
* selecting, copying, and pasting the table into the visual editor.
