I noticed on my wiki, that our sidebar had been pretty

And why, considering I did not ask for it to cache the sidebar?
The whole page is cached (either in your browser or by a proxy between
you and the wiki). When you visit a page it only checks if the page
content changed, changing the sidebar doesn't invalidate that (note it
would have a stampede effect).
