	Do not attempt to use colons for indentation anywhere within the rest of the table code (not even at the beginning of a line), as that will prevent the MediaWiki software from correctly reading the code for the table.

			== Public domain image tables ==

			It may be difficult or time-consuming to convert a table on the web to a wikitable. Especially if it can't be copied and pasted into the visual editor or a spreadsheet. Even more time-consuming if it is both difficult and regularly updated.

			See [[Commons:Template:PD-chart]]. All image tables and charts are in the public domain unless they contain copyrightable things such as photos, etc.. Those can be removed.

			So if necessary, take a screenshot, crop out the table with any image editor, and [[Commons:Special:UploadWizard\|upload]] it to the [[commons:Main page\|Wikimedia Commons]]. Add <nowiki>{{PD-chart}}</nowiki> to it.
