Need help creating header tab for new page in MediaWiki site
Hi All,

I am a MediaWiki newbie. I am not a programmer. I've added a new page to our MediaWiki project site. I would like to add a header tab to the top of the page. Is there a way to do it from the frontend? I've found several suggestions but they all involve coding.
I would also like to add page links to the left sidebar.
Please advise. I will be most grateful for your feedback!
Thanks a lot.

Best,
Karen Breau

Make sure the HeaderTabs extension is installed:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Header_Tabs

In the body of your page, use header 1 markup to create the tabs

= Tab 1 =

Tab 1 content

= Tab 2 =

Tab 2 content

etc.

Then include
<headertabs/>
At the bottom of the last tab’s content.

That’s it.

For changing / adding to the side bar, navigate to Mediawiki:Sidebar and edit the content there.

Hi Jeremi,

Thanks a lot! This looks doable -- once we get the HeaderTabs extension installed.
Thanks again!
Have a wonderful weekend, btw.

Best,
Karen
