=== Row headers ===

Note that with row headers you need to use a separate row in the wikitext for the row header cell. Here below is what a table looks like if the data cell wikitext is on the same line as the row header wikitext. Note that the data cell text is bolded, and the data cell backgrounds are the same shade of gray as the column and row headers. 

<div class="box">
'''Wikitext'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" highlight=5,7>
{| class=wikitable
|+ The table's caption
! Column 1 !!Column 2 !!Column 3
|-
! Row header 1 || Cell 2 || Cell 3
|-
! Row header A || Cell B || Cell C
|}
</syntaxhighlight></div>

<div class="box">
'''Produces'''
{| class=wikitable
|+ The table's caption
! Column 1 !!Column 2 !!Column 3
|-
! Row header 1 || Cell 2 || Cell 3
|-
! Row header A || Cell B || Cell C
|}
</div>

Here is the table with a '''separate wikitext row for each row header cell.''' The data cells have plain unbolded text, and a lighter background.

<div class="box">
'''Wikitext'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" highlight=5,8>
{| class=wikitable
|+ The table's caption
! Column 1 !!Column 2 !!Column 3
|-
! Row header 1 
| Cell 2 || Cell 3
|-
! Row header A 
| Cell B || Cell C
|}
</syntaxhighlight></div>

<div class="box">
'''Produces'''
{| class=wikitable
|+ The table's caption
! Column 1 !!Column 2 !!Column 3
|-
! Row header 1 
| Cell 2 || Cell 3
|-
! Row header A 
| Cell B || Cell C
|}
</div>
