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	US	CAN Country	CAN	UK
Rumor Has It	Release date: September 4, 1990 Label: MCA Records Formats: LP, cassette, CD, download	2	39	—	—	—	US: 3× Platinum CAN: Platinum
For My Broken Heart	Release date: October 1, 1991 Label: MCA Records Formats: LP, cassette, CD, download	3	13	1	78	—	US: 4× Platinum CAN: Platinum
It's Your Call	Release date: December 15, 1992 Label: MCA Records Formats: Cassette, CD, download	1	8	1	59	—	US: 3× Platinum CAN: Platinum
"—" 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
