It isn´t as straight forward to add this column as I thought. If I add it after "Version" then the following fields are not aligned anymore, even tough they use some kind of identifier – but that identifier also doesn´t match the row title. After reading about mediawiki syntax I came to the conclusion that I need to add the new column in every data row as well and cannot just assign values to the rows and leave out whats not known yet. ! Feature !! Version !! Description !!
