External links need to be added in a different manner; the actual URL needs to go into a MediaWiki: page, e.g. MediaWiki:Mysite-url, which is then pointed to by the MediaWiki:Sidebar page.
Re-read http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Navigation_bar as it contains specific tips on formatting for both internal and external links.
