Concept of Bi-head-ral, bipolar wikitable

Problem: Long list needs a header repeated at less than page interval or better still a header in place (floating header with scrolling ) and the list scrolls below- a concept of bi or multiheadral table would suffice meanwhile. The printout on paper electronic pages can have a header on each page.
Who would benefit:

@Patelurology2: Do you know that there is a gadget available for this ? See this gadget. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 12:03, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That gadget link led me to gadget page and that will be explored but when people create these tables there is no freq gadget that may help with the table. The call is to automatically associate a gadget with such tables and function seamlessly in the background without looking for gadget

I think keeping the table header always on top of screen is extra important on mobile web/app with limited screen size, while it is also useful on desktop. C933103 (talk) 23:49, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Reading/floating table headers I believe. --Izno (talk) 22:23, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to archive this in favor of Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Reading/floating table headers which seems identical and is more clearly described. Please let me know if I'm missing anything, Patelurology2. Thanks for participating in the survey, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 03:45, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can have floating table for view but need header at the end also;in essence a header should print on each page of printout
