I upgraded from MediaWiki 1.4.7 to 1.5.0, and when I did it, I lost my navigation panel on the side. How can I get that navigation panel back again?
Maybe you need to regenerate the interface messages in the "MediaWiki:" namespace (using the command-line script, maintenance/rebuildMessages.php or whatever it's called). As of 1.5, the navigation menu has been altered to become more customisable (again), with the wiki page "MediaWiki:Sidebar" replacing the array in LocalSettings.php for defining the structure.
I'm surprised the upgrader didn't create this for you (and presumably everything else was converted successfully) but it's worth a shot...
