"Dumbing down" of guide

{{ping|Evolution and evolvability}} why are you removing lots of necessary detail from this guide? You're making more difficult to follow if anything, these details are very necessary to explain. Please stop from removing details, which in my view are very necessary. Also moving the basic markup to page 4 makes no sense to me. <b style="font-family:'Segoe Script',cursive;">[[User:Mrjulesd|<span style="color:orange;">--Jules</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Mrjulesd|(Mrjulesd)]]</b> 12:42, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
:Hi, I'll stop editing for the moment whilst we discuss. I've been trying to bring it into line with the level of detail of other "introduction to" pages. A lot of the inforation was repeated on multiple sections, and much of it was superfluous to a new user's understanding of how to actually use of romat a table. In the same way the intro to pages for [[Help:Introduction_to_referencing_with_Wiki_Markup/2|references]] or [[Help:Introduction_to_editing_with_Wiki_Markup/2|editing]] don't explain how heading wikimarkup is really a set of HTML formatting. I reckon that that level of detail is better left to the more detailed help pages (e.g. [[[Help:tables]], [[[Wikipedia:Advanced table formatting]], [[Help:HTML_in_wikitext#Tables]]). What are your thoughts on what the intro to table pages should cover?
