Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Mobile and apps/Improve horizontal scroll of tables

Random proposal ►◄ Mobile and apps The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Improve horizontal scroll of tables

Problem: Wide tables and formulas activate horizontal scrolling for the whole page, which is uncomfortable for mobile reading
Who would benefit: Everyone
Proposed solution: Make wide tables and formulas have an internal horizontal slider and keep the width fixed for the rest of the page

I think the mobile site did once style the tables specifically. I might be crazy though. :) --Izno (talk) 00:52, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, there is no good solution to display tables on mobile. We should recommend to avoid tables and/or develop a flexible table template using Flexbox CSS. PAC2 (talk) 17:56, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
See: w:Help talk:Table/Archive 8#Sticky table headers?. There is a collapsed example table added today that is very good. Scroll down in the discussion to see it. The table headers are sticky both vertically and horizontally. Narrow your browser window to see. --Timeshifter (talk) 21:22, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
