Table Standardization: example 2
:: And for citations, I meant to remove the source itself from the column (e.g. [[The Last Son of Dorn (Novel)]], Chapter 1) and doing as the other pages do (e.g. <nowiki>{{Fn|1}}</nowiki> then at the bottom {{Endn|1}}: [[The Last Son of Dorn (Novel)]], Chapter 1). I've done such on the [[List of Hives]] page as example. [[User:Rooroom48|Rooroom48]] ([[User talk:Rooroom48|talk]]) 17:42, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 
:Roomroom aesthetic work is very good. The fact that there is no hardcoded background color is key for it to look good on mobile phone. That said, i feel it would be better to create a "table" template with a degree of moddability (number of columns comes to mind) to ensure that the same aesthetic is automatically reproduced (and if necessary, updatable) on the whole site. Also, columns header text should not be black against this dark grey background, but rather white. Or the background should not be dark grey, but a lighter shade to accomodate black text.
:Regarding citations : i vote, as i always did, for no citations at all in tables which serve as gateways to detailed articles, and not as a repository of information It simply bloats the pages, for reasons that i deem not valid in this particular case, wether it be in the table or at the bottom.--[[User:Siegfriedfr|Siegfriedfr]] ([[User talk:Siegfriedfr|talk]]) 18:18, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 
:: What I've proposed has no bearing on the number of columns, that's outside of the "table formatting" itself which is up to whoever is making the table in question. (Though some examples I've shown included me moving around some columns, like List of Hives). The formatting itself can be easily turned into a template as well, and here are some colour demos for the headers, I've used colours present on the Sidebar menus.
