CSV to Wiki Table Converter - Online MediaWiki Markup

A Wiki Table is a table formatted using MediaWiki markup syntax, used on platforms like Wikipedia, Fandom, Wikimedia Commons, and thousands of other wikis. Tables begin with {| and end with |}. Rows are separated by |-, header cells use !, and data cells use |. The wikitable class adds default styling with borders and alternating row colors.

Simply copy the generated markup from the output panel and paste it into any Wikipedia or MediaWiki page editor (source/edit mode). Make sure you're in source editing mode, not visual editing mode. The table will render automatically when you save or preview the page. For Wikipedia specifically, you can use the wikitable or wikitable sortable class for a polished look.

This tool supports CSV files with comma, semicolon, tab, pipe, or any custom single-character delimiter. Fields wrapped in double quotes are handled correctly — including commas, newlines, and escaped quotes ("") inside quoted fields. Files with .csv, .tsv, and .txt extensions are accepted. The parser automatically detects and skips completely empty rows.

Yes! Once your CSV data is loaded, individual alignment selectors appear for each column. You can set each column to Default (no explicit alignment — MediaWiki uses its default: headers center, data cells left), Left, Center, or Right. Non-default alignments are applied via inline style="text-align:…" attributes in the generated markup.

Compact format (default) places multiple cells on the same line using || separators for data and !! for headers — for example: | Cell1 || Cell2 || Cell3. Expanded format places each cell on its own line. Compact is preferred for readability in most wikis; expanded is useful when cells contain lengthy content or when you need to add individual cell attributes.

The CSV parser correctly handles quoted fields containing delimiter characters (e.g., "Smith, John"), embedded newlines, and escaped double quotes ("" → "). In the generated Wiki markup, pipe characters (|) inside cell content are automatically escaped using <nowiki>|</nowiki> to prevent them from being interpreted as table syntax. Most other special characters pass through safely.

Yes, 100% free. No registration, no ads, no data collection. All CSV processing happens locally in your browser — your data is never uploaded to any server. You can use this tool as much as you want for any purpose, including commercial wiki projects.

The generated markup works on all MediaWiki-based platforms, including: Wikipedia (all languages), Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, Fandom (formerly Wikia), Gamepedia, Miraheze, ShoutWiki, and self-hosted MediaWiki installations. It also works on many other wiki engines that support MediaWiki-style table syntax. The wikitable class is universally recognized across all these platforms.
