I suggest to have a class (in CSS/MediaWiki:Wikia.css) or style just for tables with borders which looks like not very many tables need full borders (the first below is the most basic to get it prettier it may require cell by cell coding which your editors would muck up in a heartbeat and you'd be fixing indefinitely or have to have a template but then we are getting into not so user friendly).

Because as soon as you merge it becomes the last cell again and would remove the borders. I think it looks even more weird with it at the top but here:

Personally, I tend to have several table styles in CSS for my other Wiki, because unless you use defaults or want to custom each table style (and usually it doesn't look as great). So I suggest CSS, editing current or adding new. The world is going in CSS direction (which is annoying because lots of people still do not how to edit in CSS nor have no authority to), I was forced to learn CSS code to achieve what I wanted so I know how it sucks.
