the template is the same, whether viewing the template in stand-alone mode, or when transcluded into another page. A similar complex issue is the use of subheaders ("==Subheader==") inside a template, and determining which page contains that labeled section for editing, because appearing on a formatted page does not mean the heading exists inside that page, just inside the template displayed for that page. These problems of nesting are related to side-effects of

Although some might wish to consider the default limitation of CSS-class tables (to width=98%) as a bug, when tables are nested within other tables, then a wikitable of 100%-width will still add the same right-side padding as at width 50%, 80% or 98%. The problem of over-wide tables occurs at the top

is an issue of some tables (since 2008, as of May 2012) with class=wikitable or class=infobox triggering the bottom scroll bar when width is set above 98%. The over-wide display has been caused by automatic extra-margin padding, as either: wider margin-right for class=wikitable, or wider margin-left

This is a test of the default settings for a very wide table with much text to show the extent of the margins when enough data is present to push the table to its maximum width allowed by the table properties. A table with long text, or many wide columns, will expand to fit 98% of the width of the

The issue of determining "top-level tables" is complicated by the use of templates: a table coded inside a template might seem to be a top-level table. However, if the template were invoked inside an outer table, then the result would generate nested tables. Instead, the table padding generated by

level, when 100% is the entire window, with no "outside space" to have padded. Because of the relative viewpoint, the situation is termed an "anomaly". One editors's bug is another editor's "clever feature" when the padding is added inside other tables, when formatting a table-within-a-table, etc.

margin-right padding that fits okay up to 98% width. When sized to 99% or 100%, those class=wikitable formats have triggered a bottom scrollbar (since 2008, as of June 2009), appearing along the bottom of the window. To avoid this situation, use:

margin-left padding that fits okay up to 98% width. When sized to 99% or 100%, those class=infobox formats have triggered a bottom scrollbar (since 2008, as of March 2009), appearing along the bottom of the window. To avoid this situation, use:
114:. The problem does not occur for other tables, without the keyword "class=". For "class=wikitable" the addition of allows a table to fill the current width of the reader's window, and bypass the 98% width limitation.

The scrollbar problem only occurs for top-level tables in CSS classes, such as class=wikitable or class=infobox. A plain table (with no "class=") can be resized up to 100% without triggering a bottom scrollbar.

Normally, a plain table (with no "class=") can be sized to any width up to "100%" without triggering a bottom scrollbar. However, the styles for "class=wikitable" or "wikitable sortable" have added an implicit

Tables in class wikitable or infobox, wider than 98%, trigger bottom scroll bars. Use margin-right:0 or infobox margin-left:0 to avoid the scrollbar and allow full width. IMPACT: thousands of articles.

The 2 wikitables below show the increased width, when the option is added to set:. This difference in width has occurred since 2008, and setting the margin is a reliable option to allow wider tables.
