Sorry if it's not an actual bug - my knowledge about mediawiki internals is very poor - but I noticed this issue while trying to edit the sidebar entries. I've used the html comment tags <!-- and --> to temporarily remove some of the entries and these were ignored. When I deleted the lines the sidebar updated and showed the entries correctly. Ex: * navigation * navigation ** mainpage|mainpage-description ** mainpage|mainpage-description <!-- ** portal-url|portal ** currentevents-url|currentevents --> ** recentchanges-url|recentchanges ** recentchanges-url|recentchanges ** randompage-url|randompage ** randompage-url|randompage The Portal and Current events were still shown.
MediaWiki:Sidebar has its own syntax (as some other pages in the MediaWiki namespace) and thus ignores html comments. Changed severity to enhancement accordingly.
