Wiki's don't have to be that sophisticated to get the job done ^^
Then again I wouldn't even know where to begin with a tumblr side bar. That sounds a whole lot more involved than a character wiki!
I usually start here:
http://theme-hunter.tumblr.com/tagged/codes
Then use my pre-existing knowledge of HTML and CSS to adapt the page code I chose for my use. w3schools is useful to bridge knowledge gaps in that department.
Arguably it's more involved, because you have to define everything from top to bottom, then execute it... but personally I find it easier to deal with one consistent system than trying to blend two together. If I encounter a problem when customising my tumblr sidepage, I can usually find the solution by easily googling for anyone else using CSS in any context...
Whereas even when I was writing my pages with basic wiki markup, I kept on trying to use a piece of markup I'd used in my wikia days, finding it didn't work, then... maybe I'm dumb, but... having to spend ages troubleshooting because I couldn't find any relevant usage documentation for the RPC wiki.
It took me half an hour to figure out the contents template was automatic (I started with under the required number of subtitles, putting {{Contents}} below the header, and getting frustrated when it wasn't doing anything). I ended up just utilising a workaround for my profile pic sizes, of manually resizing them in Ps and reuploading them instead of trying to get them to behave themselves with code. >_>
