Parameter	Status	Description
fromPage	required	The name of the wiki page containing the data table to be copied.
storedAs	required	The internal name of the table to be copied, as specified by the storeAs parameter of Template:Data Table.
columns	optional	A comma-separated list of columns to copy. If absent, all columns are copied.
excludeColumns	optional	A comma-separated list of columns not to copy. If absent, all columns are copied. Ignored if columns is present.
rowsWith	optional	If specified, only rows containing the given string will be copied. If absent, all rows are copied.
rowsExcluding	optional	If specified, only rows which do not contain the given string will be copied.
responsiveModeEnabled	optional	Data tables have a responsive "mobile-friendly" mode which by default is turned on when: The template estimates the width of the widest row to be greater than 40 characters. The table has less than 100 rows. Responsive mode generates a lot of HTML and therefore cannot be used with excessively long tables due to the risk of exceeding $wgMaxArticleSize. The page is in the main namespace. Data tables are sometimes used in template and module documentation. Since these pages are not reader-facing, page loading speed matters more than mobile support. Responsive mode can be forced on or off by setting this parameter to true or false, respectively.

Required property "paramOrder[ "collapse" ]" not found.
