Hi everybody,
I was having problems with an unchanging sidebar and I had tried all the remedies illustrated here
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Sidebar#Changes_not_showing_up
but nothing was happening. Out of desperation I tried something that I didn't expect would work.
Basically this works:
* Departments ** Marketing|Marketing ** Accounting|Accounting
but this doesn't
* Departments ** Marketing ** Accounting
which is strange because the list items are supposed to be links and standard wikilinks in the form [[link|text]] do not require the text part.
I just documented this issue on the page in the section
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Sidebar#Text
but I wonder if it was mentioned elsewhere or if it's maybe a bug?
Whaddayathink?
Ciao!
Manu
