== Misuse of this template ==
 
Inexperienced editors may confuse this template with the [[Help:Tables|manual way of making tables]], and mix the two, or otherwise make odd mistakes. For example, this text (that accomplishes nothing) may appear within a page's wikimarkup: '''<nowiki>{{table}}</nowiki>'''. To prevent this from occurring, a message is displayed to the user instructing them about misuse. Also, the page is added to the [[:Category:Articles using the table template incorrectly|Articles using the table template incorrectly]] category. After the initial cleanup (all instances of <nowiki>{{table}}</nowiki> were removed), it seems unlikely now that someone would use this template wrong because of the warning message. But keep an eye on that category, just in case!
