The MediaWiki:Sidebar can be changed following the sidebar manual.
The general form looks like:
* navigation ** mainpage|mainpage-description ** recentchanges-url|recentchanges ** randompage-url|randompage ** Help:Contents|help * SEARCH * TOOLBOX * LANGUAGES
To add a new section with a new link, do the following:
- Modify MediaWiki:Sidebar to include a new section and link:
* Special ** Special:Contributionscores|Contribution-scores
- The link will read as Contribution-scores, to include the space and proper capitalization (Contribution Scores), do the following:
- Note: You can just add the space (and capitalization) in the step above, however it will break the ability to add a Tooltips and Accesskey (described below).
- Create a system message in the form
MediaWiki:Link-description(for example: MediaWiki:Contribution-scores) with the contents the way the link should read (for example: Contribution Scores)- Note: This should have created a link on the sidebar with the proper link text.
- To create a tooltip, create a page in the form
MediaWiki:Tooltip-n-<id of the item>(for example: MediaWiki:Tooltip-n-Contribution-scores) with the contents the way the tooltip should read (for example: Find user Contribution Scores)
