This template adds a scrollable container around a table and its classes can be used to make the table's rows stick to the top or the columns stick to the left side of the container as the table's data is scrolled in and out of view.
It's used on tall and/or wide tables that have headers that might be difficult to remember as you scroll through the data. It keeps very wide tables within the main content area's width so the layout of Wikipedia's desktop version remains intact.
A toggle button displays on smaller screens to disable or enable these features for cases where large sticky elements are a hindrance to reading the underlying scrollable data, which is more likely on small devices such as mobile phones.
Using this template without any classes puts a table in a scrollable box without sticky headers. If there is a need for a horizontal-only scroll window (for example with a wide table where sticky headers would be too large, and some rows are very tall) see: Help:Table#Overflowing tables.
