I tried everything I had found in articles here and elsewhere but to no avail. I found when I first installed MediaWiki on my server that I could not edit the MediaWiki:Sidebar. When logged in as the right user, you can edit the page as normal - Harry Wood 12:47, 25 July 2006 (UTC) Reply In that case you need to log in as the WikiSysop user you configured when you installed it. Ask them to do it.or is it your own wiki installation. You need to login as user with 'sysop' permissions to edit the sidebar.

In one particular location, we refer to allow_url_fopen as the "marching ant of doom", but it doesn't make it the canonical name. :) I still think that "navigation bar" overall makes more sense, to more people, regardless of their skin preferences. What about the case where your MediaWiki:Sidebar page doesn't have a 'navigation' heading? - Harry Wood 14:35, 21 August 2006 (UTC) Reply

This is the name MediaWiki developers have given it. But you still edit it by editing the MediaWiki:Sidebar page. 86.133.212.163 14:42, 4 August 2006 (UTC) Reply OK so you might use a skin where the sidebar is not actually on the side. A redirect here from Manual:Sidebar would be helpful, of course. The title as it stands was selected for a reason. By default it happens to have a section called 'navigation', but overall it's a sidebar right? - Harry Wood 12:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC) Reply "Navigation bar" makes it easier to identify which elements are being edited, especially in the case of skins where the bar isn't on the side, or where other sets of links (user panel, footer panel) are also moved to one side or near the navigation bar. 'Sidebar' seems to be the name the developers have chosen for this part of the interface.

I propose we rename this page to 'Manual:Sidebar'.
