Thanks! It now works. I didn't use that MediaWiki:Sidebar option because I thought that it wouldn't work because the upgrade was from version 1.4.7, and you couldn't do that in v 1.4.7.

Do you mean you didn't run any kind of install or update script? Anyway, what I meant by "command-line" is that you can't execute that maintenance script as a web-page, you have to be able to log into your server with ssh or telnet or somesuch and run it from a command prompt.
However, looking at your site, I discovered what may have caused the problem: http://dhost.info/travian2005/Wiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Sidebar already exists, with the cryptic content "Closed". This will probably have stopped any upgrade script putting the default content into the page, explaining why it's broken.
So, assuming nothing else is wrong, all you need to do to fix this is to edit that page (MediaWiki:Sidebar) to contain the structure of your navigation bar(s). The default appears to be what I've copied below; instructions for customising are at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Navigation_bar
