Where to request new extension to wikitable?

I'd like to be able to use a subclass, as in the following:

Title Album details Peak chart positions Certifications
US Country
[1] 		US
[2] 		CAN Country
[3] 		CAN
[4] 		UK
[5]

  • US: 3× Platinum[9]
  • CAN: Platinum[7]
"—" denotes releases that did not chart

There are three cells in the table above that contain a 1. It would be good if these cells were automatically shaded (as has been manually done in the second row), without additional markup in the cells themselves. I know this to be possible using CSS, so the question is how can this be achieved in wiki?

I'm thinking I need to add

class="wikitable discog plainrowheaders" style="text-align:center;"

or similar. And then discog can be defined elsewhere.

Am I even in the right place to suggest this?

Any way to freeze the top row (header info) of a table?

Is there any way to freeze the top row of a table, the header info for the columns? So that the top row floats down the screen as user scrolls down the table, that is, so that in a table with many rows the viewer can scroll down through the rows to the desired item and still see the column header info.

That's way too useful a request to get any traction. They're too busy perfecting WP:Flow. EEng 23:17, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Interesting Table with spacer columns
