I am trying to change the navigation sidebar in a
Media Wiki 1.5
environment installed with Romanian as default language. I tried editing
the MediaWiki:Sidebar page, which did come up, but the change does not
show up in the interface. Do I need to address a Romanian-specific
namespace (and if yes, what is that?) or do I have to mess up with the
php files?
(this is just my best guess, apologies if you have already tried this)
In "MediaWiki:Sidebar", do you have something like
"randompage-url|randompage" somewhere in there?
If so, and you change "MediaWiki:randompage" from "Pagină aleatoare"
to "This is a test", does it show up in the interface? You can also
change "MediaWiki:randompage-url" to point somewhere else.
(I.e. MediaWiki:Sidebar is just a form of indirection, it's not the
literal text that shows up in the interface).
All the best,
Nick.
