Usage

This page supplies the sidebar links that show up to the left of the main text area.

• it is in the form of a two-level outline.
• the first level makes the labeled inset boxes that appear on the left
  • this is just a label that appears above the inset box, like entry points or help
    • The "search" and "toolbox" inset boxes are supplied by MediaWiki, and cannot be changed here.
• the second level has the contents of those inset boxes, in the form of a page and a label
  • page is the name of a wiki page that you go to when the label text is clicked
  • page can also be a non-wiki URL
  • label is just the text that will show up on the page

See the actual sidebar example above.

Unfortunately you cannot use any sort of formatting in the sidebar. There is a lot more info at Meta:Sidebar.

Also, the email that goes out with a password reminder refers to sidebar content, so if you make significant changes, please check MediaWiki:Passwordremindertext to make sure it is still accurate.
