How to make a top-notch scummer's page

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.

Tabs

There are a few tab templates floating around the wiki however the best one is made by UberNinja this is what they will look like when set up:

Example

Played-Games

Modded-Games

Pretty cool huh? The template used to make these looks complex but is actually rather simple. First you add:

{{UNTabs|s=}}

After the "s=" right the number of the tab that you want "selected", in the example I put "1" here so the first is selected. Now it's time to add the tabs themselves. Due to the way UberNinja made the template you can have a max of seven tabs, however it's unlikely you'll need more.

first add this behind the "s=" and "}}":

|t1=|l1=

Looks cryptic doesn't it? It's actually quite simple; the t1 stands for "Text 1" and the l1 for "Link 1". Type the text you want on the first tab after "t1=" and the name of the page (this is case-sensitive) you want the tab to link to after "l1". If you then want a second tab add "|t2=|l2=" and repeat the process until you've setup all the tabs you want. The syntax I used for the example was:

{{UNTabs|s=1|t1='''Example'''|l1=Example|t2=Played-Games|l2=Example/Played-Games|t3=Modded-Games|l3=Example/Modded-Games}}

WikiTable Nav-Bar

It is also possible to make a navigation bar using wiki table syntax, I've stolen this one from Wisdom's scummer page.
