The following describes techniques to auto-widen, or expand, any wp:wikitable, based on each user's default text-size set for their browser or device.
The major technique is to pad columns with column-spacers, as groups of non-breaking spaces ( ) at the end of each column, such as by template {{ns|15}}, where those spaces will shift below the column on narrow screens, to move the columns closer together, but spread columns apart on wider screens. When a user views the page, the table will be resized for that user's default textsize setting.
