mediawiki - How do I insert tables inside infoboxes on Wikia pages? -

i want insert tables in infoboxes. example, have proteinbox i've developed using infobox template (http://health-and-medicine.wikia.com/wiki/template:proteinbox), , fasta field big fit comfortably in proteinbox. hence collapsible table within box.

this tried:

{{infobox | row 1 = {| class = "mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" |- | <!-- table content --> |} }}

your problem is, putting nested table within template. pipe characters (|) in table syntax collides pipe usage in templates.

the commonly used hack around create template called template:!, containing pipe character, , utilize when need set tables, parser functions or other stuff using pipe characters, within templates. table (with every | replaced {{!}}):

{{{!}} {{!}}- {{!}} a1 {{!}} b1 {{!}}- {{!}} a2 {{!}} b2 {{!}}}

...the equivalent of

{| |- | a1 | b1 |- | a2 | b2 |}

furthermore, have assure table starts @ new line, blank lines stripped template parameters. easiest way add together empty <nowiki /> tag. code in question this:

{{infobox | row 1 = <nowiki /> {{{!}} class = "mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" {{!}}- {{!}} <!-- table content --> {{!}}} }}

in recent versions of mediawiki, {{!}} syntax added software, on wikia, of 2014, needs added template.
