Template:Static row numbers

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Note: Category:Articles with tables with fixed row numbers uses a deprecated template. Please replace it with {{Static row numbers}}.

Template to automatically add row numbers to sortable tables. The row numbers will not be sorted when columns of data are sorted. A possible note to add above a table: {{noprint|'''''Row numbers''' are static. Other columns are sortable. This allows ranking of any column.''}}

These templates work together and make table formatting fast:

• {{Static row numbers table}}
• {{Static row numbers header}}
• {{Static row numbers arrows}}
• {{Static row numbers no rank}}
• {{Static row numbers total}}

Some are used together here: List of U.S. states and territories by incarceration and correctional supervision rate

Usage with wikitable and sortable

Place template before table where the automatic row numbers are required. Add class static-row-numbers to the table wikitext, as in the following example. It adds an unsorted column of row numbers.

With wikitable and sortable

Name Number Another Number A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350

<syntaxhighlight lang=text highlight=1-2> Name Number Another Number A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350 </syntaxhighlight>

Usage with sortable

With sortable

Name Number Another Number A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350

<syntaxhighlight lang=text highlight=1-2> Name Number Another Number A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350 </syntaxhighlight>

Usage with no other classes

While designed to provide a static row number for sortable tables, it can be used just to add an automatic row number to plain tables.

With no other classes

Name Number Another Number A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350

<syntaxhighlight lang=text highlight=1-2> Name Number Another Number A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350 </syntaxhighlight>

Using static-row-header-text to add a "No." column header

This adds a "No." as the row number column header. Add class=static-row-header-text to the top line of the table wikitext. It does not work with {{Static row numbers table}}.

With static-row-header-text to add a column header

Name Number Another Number A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350

<syntaxhighlight lang=text highlight=1-2> Name Number Another Number A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350 </syntaxhighlight>

Using static-row-header-hash to add a hash ("#") column header

This adds a hash ("#") as the row number column header.

With static-row-header-hash to add a column header

Name Number Another Number A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350

<syntaxhighlight lang=text highlight=1-2> Name Number Another Number A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350 </syntaxhighlight>

Marking additional header and footer rows with static-row-header

The class static-row-header is added to additional header rows (other than the first one). It prevents those header rows from having row numbers. It also prevents them from being sorted. It is important to add this class for consistent appearance in different Wikipedia skins and views. It is necessary for correct numbering in the minerva skin on mobile view which renders HTML tables differently.

Marking additional header and footer rows with static-row-header

Name Number Another Number (unit) (per capita) A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350 Totals 250 3000

<syntaxhighlight lang=text highlight=1-2,4,16> Name Number Another Number (unit) (per capita) A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350 Totals 250 3000 </syntaxhighlight>

Marking footer or header rows that also contain data cells (non-header cells)

To prevent them from sorting class=sorttop or class=sortbottom must also be added. For an example of header rows like this see this version of the 2021 table in this list article.

Name Number Another Number (unit) (per capita) A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350 Totals 250 3000

<syntaxhighlight lang=text highlight=1-2,4,16> Name Number Another Number (unit) (per capita) A 10 1000 B 50 800 C 100 150 D 20 700 E 70 350 Totals 250 3000 </syntaxhighlight>

White background for data cells

Add class=srn-white-background to the top line of the table wikitext. It can be used on tables with inline cell or row background colors. Neither are affected by this class.

This class is unnecessary if you are using this:

• {{Static row numbers table}}

The class is incorporated into that template.

White background for data cells

1 2 3 1-1 2-1 3-1 1-2 2-2 3-2

<syntaxhighlight lang=text highlight=1-2> 1 2 3 1-1 2-1 3-1 1-2 2-2 3-2 </syntaxhighlight>
