You can use the Mediawiki edit toolbar to create tables on OutHistory.org (it is the 11th button from the right on the toolbar). By default, it includes the following text:

{| {{prettytable}}  
! FELD 1
! FELD 2
! FELD 3
|-
| Element
| Element
| Element
|-
| Element
| Element
| Element
|-
| Element
| Element
| Element
|}

Which shows up like this on your web page:

FELD 1	FELD 2	FELD 3
Element	Element	Element
Element	Element	Element
Element	Element	Element

To title your table, simply insert a pipe ( | ) and a plus sign ( + ) with your title after the first line:

{| {{prettytable}}
|+Example Table  
! FELD 1
! FELD 2
! FELD 3
|-
| Element
| Element
| Element
|-
| Element
| Element
| Element
|-
| Element
| Element
| Element
|}

Which shows up like this on your web page:

Example Table

FELD 1	FELD 2	FELD 3
Element	Element	Element
Element	Element	Element
Element	Element	Element

To give your table a border, type border="1" on the first line. The number in quotation marks corresponds to the size of the border.

{| {{prettytable}} border="1"
|+Example Table  
! FELD 1
! FELD 2
! FELD 3
|-
| Element

|}

Which will look like this on your web page:

Example Table

FELD 1	FELD 2	FELD 3
Element	Element	Element
Element	Element	Element
Element	Element	Element

You can adjust the size of your table by adding style="width:__%; height:__px" on the first line, filling in the blanks with the sizes you want like this:

{| style="width:75%; height:200px" border ="1"
