Template:Static row numbers
Template documentationNote to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.
- Uses Template:Static row numbers/styles.css
- 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.
|
<templatestyles src="Template:Static row numbers/styles.css" />
|
{{Static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable sortable static-row-numbers"
! Name !! Number !! Another Number
|-
| A || 10 || 1000
|-
| B || 50 || 800
|-
| C || 100 || 150
|-
| D || 20 || 700
|-
| E || 70 || 350
|} |
Usage with sortable
|
<templatestyles src="Template:Static row numbers/styles.css" />
|
{{Static row numbers}}
{| class="sortable static-row-numbers"
! Name !! Number !! Another Number
|-
| A || 10 || 1000
|-
| B || 50 || 800
|-
| C || 100 || 150
|-
| D || 20 || 700
|-
| E || 70 || 350
|} |
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.
|
<templatestyles src="Template:Static row numbers/styles.css" />
|
{{Static row numbers}}
{| class="static-row-numbers"
! Name !! Number !! Another Number
|-
| A || 10 || 1000
|-
| B || 50 || 800
|-
| C || 100 || 150
|-
| D || 20 || 700
|-
| E || 70 || 350
|} |
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}}.
|
<templatestyles src="Template:Static row numbers/styles.css" />
|
{{Static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable sortable static-row-numbers static-row-header-text"
! Name !! Number !! Another Number
|-
| A || 10 || 1000
|-
| B || 50 || 800
|-
| C || 100 || 150
|-
| D || 20 || 700
|-
| E || 70 || 350
|} |
Using static-row-header-hash to add a hash ("#") column header
This adds a hash ("#") as the row number column header.
|
<templatestyles src="Template:Static row numbers/styles.css" />
|
{{Static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable sortable static-row-numbers static-row-header-hash"
! Name !! Number !! Another Number
|-
| A || 10 || 1000
|-
| B || 50 || 800
|-
| C || 100 || 150
|-
| D || 20 || 700
|-
| E || 70 || 350
|} |
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.
|
<templatestyles src="Template:Static row numbers/styles.css" />
|
{{Static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable sortable static-row-numbers"
! Name !! Number !! Another Number
|- class="static-row-header"
! !! (unit) !! (per capita)
|-
| A || 10 || 1000
|-
| B || 50 || 800
|-
| C || 100 || 150
|-
| D || 20 || 700
|-
| E || 70 || 350
|- class="static-row-header"
! Totals !! 250 !! 3000
|} |
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.
|
<templatestyles src="Template:Static row numbers/styles.css" />
|
{{Static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable sortable static-row-numbers"
! Name !! Number !! Another Number
|- class="static-row-header"
! !! (unit) !! (per capita)
|-
| A || 10 || 1000
|-
| B || 50 || 800
|-
| C || 100 || 150
|-
| D || 20 || 700
|-
| E || 70 || 350
|- class="sortbottom static-row-header"
! Totals
|| 250 || 3000
|} |
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:
The class is incorporated into that template.
<templatestyles src="Template:Static row numbers/styles.css" />
|
{{Static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable sortable static-row-numbers srn-white-background"
|-
! 1 !! 2 !! 3
|-
| 1-1 || 2-1 || 3-1
|-
| 1-2 || 2-2 || 3-2
|} |
