The strings in MediaWiki:Sidebar ARE NOT TEXT STRINGS, they are MESSAGE
KEY NAMES.

You should list something like:

  ourwiki-url|ourwiki-text

then in MediaWiki:Ourwiki-url you put:


http://our-wiki-url/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=1

and in MediaWiki:Ourwiki-text you put:

  Discussion/talk index

This keeps things clean and localizable.
