Template:Static row numbers

{{srn}}

This template uses TemplateStyles:

Template:Static row numbers/styles.css (sandbox)

This template adds a column of row numbers to a table. The numbers do not sort with the rest of the table, remaining static. Optional classes are provided to display a column label or disable numbers on specific rows.

It works on desktop and mobile versions of Wikipedia pages.

Usage

Include this template by adding {{static row numbers}} or its redirect {{static-row-numbers}} above a table. Add the static-row-numbers class to the table start wikitext. Optionally add the other classes listed below.

Wikitext:

{{static row numbers}}
{| class="static-row-numbers"

Classes for table start wikitext: `{| class="class1 class2"`.
Table class	Summary
`static-row-numbers`	Required. Displays a column of row numbers aligned right. Requires at least one header row.
`static-row-header-text`	Displays "No." text in column label.
`static-row-header-hash`	Displays hash ("#") symbol in column label.
`static-row-header-left`	Left aligns numbers. Default right.
`static-row-header-center`	Center aligns numbers. Default right.

Classes for row wikitext: `|- class="class1 class2"`.
Row class	Summary
`static-row-header`	Disables a row number. Disables borders between consecutive row usages (simulates `rowspan`). Add to `sorttop` and `sortbottom` rows. Add to header rows except the first.
`static-row-numbers-norank`	Disables a row number. Maintains borders between consecutive row usages. Optionally add to data rows.

Used with sortable

Multiple header rows in a sortable table should have the static-row-header class added to all header rows except the first one so that they are not numbered when JavaScript is disabled. It is also needed on rows that use the sorttop or sortbottom class, described at #Disable number on specific rows.

Wikitext:

{{static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable sortable static-row-numbers"
|-
! rowspan="2" | Color
! colspan="3" | Data
|- class="static-row-header"
! A !! B !! C
|-

|- class="sortbottom static-row-header"
| '''Total''' || 12 || 15 || 18
|- class="sortbottom static-row-header"
| '''Average''' || 4 || 5 || 6

Red	1	2	3
Lime	4	5	6
Gold	7	8	9

Used without sortable

Multiple header rows in a non-sortable table should have the static-row-header class added to all header rows except the first one, described at #Disable number on specific rows.

Wikitext:

{{static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable static-row-numbers"
|-
! rowspan="2" | Color
! colspan="3" | Data
|- class="static-row-header"
! A !! B !! C

|}

Color	A	B	C
Red	1	2	3

Gold	7	8	9

Display "No." text in column label

Note. This does not improve accessibility. A blind person said it does nothing for screen reader users. [1].

To display the "No." text in the number column's header (label), add the static-row-header-text class to the table start wikitext.

Wikitext:

{{static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable static-row-numbers static-row-header-text"
|-
! rowspan="2" | Color
! colspan="3" | Data
|- class="static-row-header"
! A !! B !! C
|-
...

Produces:

Color	Data
Color	A	B	C
Red	1	2	3
Lime	4	5	6
Gold	7	8	9

Display hash ("#") symbol in column label

Note. This does not improve accessibility. A blind person said it does nothing for screen reader users. [2].

To display a hash ("#") symbol in the number column's header (label), add the static-row-header-hash class to the table start wikitext.

Wikitext:

{{static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable static-row-numbers static-row-header-hash"
|-
! rowspan="2" | Color
! colspan="3" | Data
|- class="static-row-header"

Gold	7	8	9

Disable number on specific rows

This section details how to disable numbers on specific rows by adding either the static-row-numbers-norank or static-row-header class to the row wikitext.

The static-row-numbers-norank class can be added to data rows to disable the number.

The static-row-header class disables the number and border between other rows that use this class consecutively, simulating a rowspan (see Help:Table#Colspan and rowspan). It should be added to:

Header rows excluding the first. For sortable tables, it prevents numbering when JavaScript is disabled.
Rows using the sorttop or sortbottom class.

Note, the sorttop or sortbottom class is added to a row so it stays at the top or bottom of a sorted list, per Help:Sortable tables.

Wikitext:

{{static row numbers}}
{| class="wikitable sortable static-row-numbers"
|-
! rowspan="2" | Color
! colspan="3" | Data
|- class="static-row-header"
! A !! B !! C
|- class="sorttop static-row-header"
| '''Min''' || 1 || 2 || 3
|- class="sorttop static-row-header"
| '''Max''' || 10 || 11 || 12
|-
| Red || 1 || 2 || 3
|- class="static-row-numbers-norank"
| Lime || 4 || 5 || 6
|- class="static-row-numbers-norank"
| Gold || 7 || 8 || 9

|- class="sortbottom static-row-header"
| '''Total''' || 22 || 26 || 30
|- class="sortbottom static-row-header"
| '''Average''' || 5.5 || 6.5 || 7.5
