Sorry for asking something likely answered elsewhere, or if this is posted in the wrong place.

Just curious, what's up with pages for individual players on the mafiawiki? How to get/maintain one, etc?

click on wiki under your avi, start the "Yukari" article and troll to your heart's desire

When I click on wiki under my avatar, I'm told I don't have authority to create a page.

I think you need to create a separate wiki account instead of just being an anonymous IP address. Your forum account isn't tied to it, unless that's changed.

Really? I didn't have that error. And I'm pretty sure my account was tied to the Wiki.

Oh, cool.

In that case, saulres is a problematic criminal element and the wiki is wisely protecting us from him. Sorry, saulres.

Interesting, never noticed the wiki button before.

It's okay. I didn't want one anyway.

So thanks to Yukari for the faceplant and the info about the really tiny and almost completely hidden login button

I made a guide for this, check the links on the home page at the bottom.
They are called "Scummer Pages" though.

The forum homepage? Wiki homepage? Scummer page wiki guide?

You ask someone to redesign it for you for anything good.

ISO · Post Post #15 (ISO) » Mon Aug 10, 2015 9:52 pm

If you want some examples of what are some good scummer page check Wisdom's and UberNinja's.

Counterpoint: No one cares about your games unless they're trying to meta you and they will do it wrong. No one is going to click through all of the tabs in your wiki page to see your subpages. No one cares about most of those either. Following that guide will make your wiki page look

professional

, but will also make it seem inaccessible and boring beyond hope. Clicking through tabs in order to find the few little interesting bits of information that might or might not be there is simply not worth it. That guide does not help you make a good (and certainly not

top-notch

) wiki page. It helps you to make a wiki page based around one specific overused aesthetic.

Don't plan on getting fancy atm, jus want to compile games list n such.
Can only access via phone.

Ankamius · Post Post #18 (ISO) » Tue Aug 11, 2015 12:41 pm

tn5421 redesigned my wiki page and I've literally been unable to figure out how to add games to it ever since.

Yukari · Post Post #19 (ISO) » Tue Aug 11, 2015 5:59 pm

Wiki page is updated now, will work on it more over time.

My wikipage is the shining example of what all scummer pages should be. (thanks go to HowardRoark circa 2009)
