# X_WIKI_TABLE_MALFORMED

## Means

a markdown table in `wiki/` does not render as a table

## Typical cause

a row whose cell count differs from its header, a delimiter row of the wrong width, or a header with no delimiter under it. GFM drops the extra cells silently on the published page, so the wiki renders wrong and nothing says so. An escaped pipe is content, not a delimiter — 36 rows across 16 pages rely on that

## Fix

`bun run scripts/wiki-tables.ts --json` — the `fix` names the file, the line and the cell count the row must have
