 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
This template adds a column of row numbers to a table. The numbers do not sort with the rest of the table, remaining static. Optional classes are provided to display a column label or disable numbers on specific rows.
It works on desktop and mobile versions of Wikipedia pages.
Usage
Include this template by adding {{static row numbers}} or its redirect {{static-row-numbers}} above a table. Add the static-row-numbers class to the table start wikitext. Optionally add the other classes listed below.
Wikitext:
{{static row numbers}}
{| class="static-row-numbers"
| Table class | Summary |
|---|---|
static-row-numbers
|
Required. Displays a column of row numbers. Requires at least one header row. |
static-row-header-text
|
Displays "No." text in column label. |
static-row-header-hash
|
Displays hash ("#") symbol in column label. |
| Row class | Summary |
|---|---|
static-row-header
|
Disables a row number. Disables borders between consecutive row usages (simulates rowspan). Add to sorttop and sortbottom rows. Add to header rows except the first.
|
static-row-numbers-norank
|
Disables a row number. Maintains borders between consecutive row usages. Optionally add to data rows. |
Used with sortable
Multiple header rows in a sortable table should have the static-row-header class added to all header rows except the first one so that they are not numbered when JavaScript is disabled. It is also needed on rows that use the sorttop or sortbottom class, described at #Disable number on specific rows.

Disable number on specific rows
This section details how to disable numbers on specific rows by adding either the static-row-numbers-norank or static-row-header class to the row wikitext.
The static-row-numbers-norank class can be added to data rows to disable the number.
The static-row-header class disables the number and border between other rows that use this class consecutively, simulating a rowspan (see Help:Table#Colspan and rowspan). It should be added to:
- Header rows excluding the first. For sortable tables, it prevents numbering when JavaScript is disabled.
- Rows using the
sorttoporsortbottomclass.
Note, the sorttop or sortbottom class is added to a row so it stays at the top or bottom of a sorted list, per Help:Sortable tables.
