Description Marius H 2009-10-15 12:26:44 UTC
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.
