			==Wikitables==
			To place a wiki table, you need to place down several rows. The first row you place determines the class and style. The style can affect the background color for the wikitable, text color, margins, and whether the box floats (can have text alonside it) or not.
			{\| class="wikitable" style="color:blue; background-color:#ddd; margin: auto; float:left"
			\|+Wikitable Sample
			\|<nowiki>{\| class="wikitable" style="color:blue; background-color:#ddd; margin: auto; float:left"</nowiki>
			\|-
			\|Note how there are semicolons separating all the style components.
			\|}

			{\| class="wikitable" style="color:black; background-color:#ddd; margin: auto; text-align:right; float:right"
			\|+Wikitable Sample
			\|<nowiki>{\| class="wikitable" style="color:black; background-color:#ddd; margin: auto; text-align:right; float:right"</nowiki>
			\|-
			\|Also note that the class is not being changed.
			\|}






			For the wikitables, the components that you may change between write-ups are all within style, and are the following:
			* '''margin''': can be written as margin-left, margin-right, or just as margin. If float is not included, you can use margin-left or margin-right to determine which side of the screen the box will be placed on.
			* '''float''': can be written as float: left; float: right; or float: center; but doesn't need to be included. If you want the wikitable to stand alone, remove the float portion of the style.
			* '''color''': refers to the color of the text. If you wish to make the text colorized, feel free to do so!
			* '''text-align''': When not added in, the wikitable will automatically align the text to the left. Can be used to align the text center, left or right.
			* '''background-color''' shouldn't need to be changed, and the class will always be "wikitable"

			The first wikitable on the [[Sample Page]] should not need any style editing, and only need to have the text edited for the demonstration. The second wikitable is set up to be edited, so be sure to edit the styling for it as you see fit.
