81.171.253.210: /* Customizing the sidebar */

[[Image:Example sidebar.png|thumb|Sidebar example]]
'''[[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]''' defines the navigation bar, which provides links to the most important locations in the wiki and supplies site administrators with a place to add a persistent collection of links. For instance, most wikis will link to their community discussion page and some useful tools.

The default Monobook [[Manual:Skins|skin]] places the navigation bar on the top-left (top-right for right-to-left languages) along with the search bar and toolbox, but the placement may be different in other skins.

==Troubleshooting==
===Changes not showing up===
MediaWiki aggressively caches content if possible, which often causes the navigation bar to persist after changes. [[Manual:Purge|Purging the cache]] of affected pages should correct the situation. To perform a mass-purge of all caches at once, [http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=touch touch] the <tt>'''LocalSettings.php'''</tt> file or [http://www.mysql.org/doc/refman/5.0/en/truncate.html truncate] the <tt>'''objectcache'''</tt> table in your database (you may have to do both).

You also need to have [[Manual:%24wgUseDatabaseMessages|$wgUseDatabaseMessages]] set to <tt>true</tt>.

===Lowercase link labels===
If your links are not being capitalized as intended, try adding spaces around the bar character; for example:
<pre>** http://www.example.com/download.php?file=44555 | Download</pre>

===Sections disappear or show unexpected content===
If a section does not display or displays unexpected content, check that the header text isn't the name of an interface message by searching [[Special:Allmessages]]. If it is, use a different header text, or create a new interface message and use it.

For example, if you want to use "Sidebar" as header text, create the interface message "MediaWiki:Sidebar-header" containing only "Sidebar". Then, use <code><nowiki>* sidebar-header</nowiki></code> as header.
