Created page with "== Involved Pages == The Sidebar ist generated with a special page in the MediaWiki namespace, that is MediaWiki:Sidebar. It is a bullet list with special items. Don't mix i..."

New page

== Involved Pages ==

The Sidebar ist generated with a special page in the MediaWiki namespace, that is [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]. It is a bullet list with special items. Don't mix it up with common list styling!

The list-level controls if the item is written as a seperating heading or a link.

The list items are divided into two parts by a pipe "|". Both parts shall be the name of a page that belongs to the MediaWiki namespace as well. The first part is a placholder for the link, the second one is a placeholder for the title of the link shown in the sidebar.

For UserBase related changes we prefer following nomenclature:

{{Input|1=<nowiki>** ub-name-url | ub-name</nowiki>}}

Replace <code>name</code> to your needs.

Now you have to edit <tt>MediaWiki:ub-name</tt> and <tt>MediaWiki:ub-name-url</tt>. These pages will contain only one line with the title of the link and the page the link shall point to.

Example:
* <tt>MediaWiki:Sidebar</tt>:{{Input|1=<nowiki>...
** ub-helpfiles-new-content-url | ub-helpfiles-new-content
...</nowiki>}}
* <tt>MediaWiki:ub-helpfiles-new-content</tt>:{{Input|1=<nowiki>Add new pages</nowiki>}}
* <tt>MediaWiki:ub-helpfiles-new-content-url</tt>:{{Input|1=<nowiki>Tasks and Tools</nowiki>}}
Where "Tasks and Tools" is the name of an existing page of the Main namespace.

== Links to Anchors ==
If the link shall point to an anchor of a page you have to insert a redirect-page as a work around. Following the nomenclature this page should be called <tt>ub-name-redirect</tt> and shall only contain the #REDIRECT statement wich leads to the final destination page.

So let's improve the example from above:
* <tt>MediaWiki:Sidebar</tt>:{{Input|1=<nowiki>...
** ub-helpfiles-new-content-url | ub-helpfiles-new-content
...</nowiki>}}
* <tt>MediaWiki:ub-helpfiles-new-content</tt>:{{Input|1=<nowiki>Add new pages</nowiki>}}
* <tt>MediaWiki:ub-helpfiles-new-content-url</tt>:{{Input|1=<nowiki>ub-helpfiles-new_content-redirect</nowiki>}}
* <tt>ub-helpfiles-new-content-redirect</tt>:{{Input|1=<nowiki>Tasks and Tools#Add_New_Pages</nowiki>}}

== Translating Sidebar Items ==

The pages containing the link titles are listed in a special page that is [[MediaWiki:Userbase-messages]]. Just write them down without any list formatting or such.

In our example we have to insert the line {{Input|1=<nowiki>...
ub-helpfiles-new-content
...</nowiki>}}

Now the new items can be translated. Visit the [[Special:Translate | Translate page]]. At the bottom of the list you will find the page "Userbase's custom interface messages". Finally choose your language and fetch the items to be translated.
