It is sometimes desirable to include wiki markup directly into the sidebar, as reported on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Sidebar#Allow_wiki_markup_.28PHP.29 MediaWiki should allow it without needing to change the code.
Created attachment 6708 [details] Proposal Backwards compatible sidebar syntax expansion to allow wikitext for entries with the form {{text}}, taken from MediaWiki:text. The parser usage is probably not correct, but shouldn't need half dozen lines, either.
Patch has conflicts on trunk. Please submit an updated patch.
Created attachment 7401 [details] Updated patch Patch updated to trunk. What do you think, Siebrand?
Applied in r66974.
This syntax seems pretty odd; {{text}} would seem to indicate template expansion of Template:Text, whereas this sounds a little more like it would look like {{int:text}}?
