Thread:Project:Forum/How do I edit the sidebar? Which file should I look at?/reply (6)

I am a little confused with the above information. I may have gone about it the wrong way but what I did to be able to edit the sidebar was to click on 'special pages' go to 'Systems Messages' entered 'sidebar' in the search box, clicked on 'sidebar' and created 'mediawiki:Sidebar'. I was then able to edit the sidebar and for ease of use I made a link in the sidebar to the 'Mediawiki:Sidebar' page.
