I just upgraded from 1.5.8 to 1.6.2 and now my sidebar navigation is not showing up correctly. In 1.5.8 it worked fine. When I go to the MediaWiki:Sidebar page the modified navigation shows up as it should be.
I have modified it and saved it (as sysop) yet it still has the default navigation.
I have deleted my cache, closed my browser and re-opened the wiki yet the navigation is still the default not the modified version.
All the wiki pages show up as they should and the upgrade went fine (no errors) it's just the sidebar navigation.
any ideas what I need to do to get it to work?
Thanks,

What did you modify, exactly? URL please?

Brion,
index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&action=edit
The full URL of the wiki is https://wiki.ce.gatech.edu/isg/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&action=...
Except you won't be able to access it because it's blocked by .htaccess and I can't give you access because of the sensitive nature of the content.
Here is what I did.
I made a full backup of the db. I made a copy of the wiki files.
I unpacked the tarball and did a complete install of the wiki. I got no errors during the install.
I moved the LocalSettings.php etc... Yada yada yada the same thing I've done for previous upgrades and wiki installs. (we have about 6 wikis running 1.5.8 that I've been maintaining and upgrading since version 1.4.x)
This page was created in 1.5.x (I don't remember exactly)
Everything is working except the navigation.
