Since I've seen it brought up in two places relevant to what I'm working on with MediaWiki:Sidebar right now I'd like to see any notes people may have on a replacement for MediaWiki:Sidebar. The consensus seams to be that we want to replace MediaWiki:Sidebar with a Special: page interface and stuff stored directly in the database instead of something in the i18n system. For now I'm thinking of calling it Special:EditNavigation/sidebar (I plan to expand our support for navigation beyond just that sidebar so that's why it's not Special:EditSidebar).

I'd like to see any comments or requirements people have of an interface/system for editing the sidebar.

One question. How is our policy on JavaScript for these kind of things right now? For something like this where users are going to want to be able to drag and reorganize things do we have to do this in a slow way that works without JS?
