Thread:Project:Support desk/No tables and so?/reply (2)

The tables part is by design: you have to explicitly set the style (including borders) for each table you input. A "wikitable" class might work out of the box, but i wouldn't know since i never tried testing such a feature.

As for the buttons around the edit box, there might be a configuration setting somewhere. Actually, Special:Search/edit page buttons suggests Manual:FAQ, which links to Manual:Custom edit buttons. Do you have Extension:WikiEditor installed and enabled?
