'''I finally found the solution:''' <br>

Up to 9 columns can now be aligned in one place: in the class attribute of the table. The built-in table default is left-alignment. You may override this by adding a class for each column that differs from that. Ffor example <code>class="wikitable right-1 right-2"</code> means that the text columns 1 and 2 will be right-aligned. There are 3×9 classes: <code>left-1</code> to <code>left-9</code>, <code>center-1</code> to <code>center-9</code>, and <code>right-1</code> to <code>right-1</code>. The actual styling is done via CSS (see [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]). I stopped reworking the page after changing one of the tables because I urgently need a break now. Maybe you'd like (😉) to continue in the meantime. <br>
