-====== An Empty Table ======
-[{{ :wiki:empty_table.png?nolink&200|List of good reasons to believe that the Earth is flat}}]
-**An Empty Table** is a table that has been drawn, but that has no content filled in.
-The properties of the empty table include height, width, number of rows, columns and styling. However, empty tables generally have no titles, since a title would depend on the content.
-Empty tables are extremely popular among people who need to make a table on a subject that they are ignorant about. An empty table is also great as a listing of ideas that you still did not think of.
-===== Criticism of empty tables =====
-[[J. N. Spoilsport]] argues that empty tables may be breeding grounds for offensive content, since theoretically anyone can write anything in them. [[Mr. Porridge]] counters that a given table limits the amount of content it can hold, therefore, you cannot write **anything**.
-"It is clear that if you have a small empty table, you cannot write a novel in it. This is fairly obvious. I have no idea how someone can think otherwise," - Mr. Porridge says.
-[[The Cave]] forum post in 2016 has commented on this by launching a project that would allow an Excel table to hold compressed text. That way, Mr. Porridge would be proven false.
-[[Dan Dindridge]] has commented on the whole exchange by pointing out that empty tables is something that "the public doesn't give a shit about".
