- Enter the number of "Rows" and "Columns" you need.
 - The option “Border size“ allows you to specify the width of the table border. If the border size is "0" or empty, the table will not have any border.
 - You can enter a title in the caption field that will be shown on the top of the table.
 - width describes the tables width.It is advisable to choose "Width"=100% percent. Then the table will automatically align itself to the article width and teh article will not be skewed.
 - Cell spacing describes the space between the cells in the tables in pixels

"Advance Option"
You can of course also create a table in the wiki text but this is not that easy. However, once you know what you are doing it is a comfortable tool for editing tables.

If you are interested, see here or just create one with the editor and see what changes in WikiText result in.
Some basic explanations:
- Cell spacing describes the space between the cells in the tables in pixels
 - Cell padding describes the space between the cells' borders and the text inside them
 - Width describes the tables width. Note that it is possible to give cells a specific width which will be used for all the cells in a column.
