• How to make scrolling tables: Many wiki pages contain tables that are too wide for the content pane, causing content to bleed over behind the navigation bar. In the past, we've used special wiki code to create tables that scroll. However, we never included the example code in the Help pages for tables, and the code itself needed some refinement to make the scrolling box look good. I've taken a run at refining the scrolling table code and posted the example code to a section of Help:Tables. Hopefully this will help someone fix all the great U.S. state census tables that were fouled up when we integrated the wiki with Beta. (Example: Pennsylvania Census.)

• Next, I'd like to do the same thing with scrolling images so we'll have instructions to fix all the messed up imagemaps of counties on the U.S. state pages. (Example: Pennsylvania.)
