The current implementation of MediaWiki:Sidebar supports a completely undocumented * {{msg}} syntax.

Are there any objections to it being removed?
The sidebar code is a hack and it is far from being user friendly. User currently has to edit: - [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] - a message for link - a message for link name
We should just rewrite it from scratch, using some Special page to easily add / remove links. Save them to the database and the cache system.
As for the {{msg}}, it might help if you list the revisions.
