You can add a table using HTML rather than wiki markup, as described at HTML element#Tables. However, HTML tables are discouraged because wikitables are easier to customize and maintain, as described at manual of style on tables.

Note that if someone is using a custom skin that specifies different link colors, for example, green for internal links, and purple for "redlinks," a link formatted with this code will still look blue, and not match other links in appearance, to that user.
