Adding Nav Links and Sidebars in MediaWiki

September 5, 2009 at 6:05 am · Filed under Programming

Tried to edit my nav links on a new MediaWiki page today. Yikes.

It’s not exactly click-to-edit, but it’s not impossible either, once you’ve waded through the mis-information available about how this is done.

1. 1. Type MediaWiki:Sidebar into the search box
2. 2. Click Go
3. 3. Click on the edit tab. If this page has never been visited, there may not be an edit tab; Click on create instead.
4. 4. Make changes as desired.

Editing Other Bars

To edit other components on the sidebars, try the following pages:

Search Sidebar: MediaWiki:Search

Toolbox Sidebar: MediaWiki:Toolbox
