This wiki houses three types of people: Those that couldn't give a fudge about the MafiaWiki, those that have MediaWiki skills and can conjure up anything they want on a wiki-page and those that aspire to become a Wiki-Wizard. To check which category each scummer fits into all you need to do is search for their user page. If it doesn't exist; they belong to the "Fudge Wiki" group, if it looks fancy and awe inspiring they are one of the "Wiki-Wizards" and if it looks like someone attempted to make their scummer-page look good (when actually it's pretty awful) they belong to the "Wannabe-Wiki-Wizards".

The fact that you're on this page means that you are probably from this group. You aspire to make your scummer-page as good us those stuck-up "wizards", however you lack the sacred knowledge or creativity to make it look decent.

Well, you're in the right place, this page is all about making an amazing scummers-page, wgeurts has taken the time to research the ancient manuscripts and translate them into a language understandable by all.


Step 1: Making the user-page redirect to the scummer-page

Due to the technical admins we all have two user pages for some odd reasons, one prefaced by "User:" the other not. For example wgeurts has the pages wgeurts and User:wgeurts. To make the "User:-Name-" page redirect to the other one (this allows for quicker searches as users don't need to type "User:" to find your page) add the following to your page which is called User:*Whatever your MafiaScum username is*:

#REDIRECT [[*Whatever your MafiaScum username is*]]

You have now completed step 1, now it's time to actually make the page (and it's sub-pages).


Step 2: Making the sub-pages

A good scummer-page will have information on that users played games, modded games and that sort of information. Make pages for each separate topic in the following manner:

If you're making a sub-page for "Played-Games" then make a page called "*Your Scummer-Page/Played-Games". So in my case "Wgeurts/Played-Games". Do this for each separate topic, changing the "/Played-Games" to whatever you want. For the sake of example this guide is going to use "Example/Played-Games" and "Example/Modded-Games".

Once you've made all the pages you need move on to step 3.


Step 3: Navigation

The most important thing for any website is how easy it is to navigate, the same applies to your scummer-page. I'm going to explain three different methods of navigation between your pages: Tabs, Nav-Bar by WikiTables and Nav-Bar by MafiaWikiNavbars.
