Manual:$wgNavigationLinks

Deprecated
The variable is deprecated as of version 1.5 because MediaWiki 1.5 introduced wiki editable 'MediaWiki:Sidebar' page. See Manual:Navigation bar

Details
For users of older pre 1.5 MediaWiki versions, you may wish to follow these usage details, but you should consider upgrading!

Navigation links for the user sidebar. Note that the values are not the text itself, they are pages in the     namespace.
 * 'text' : the name of the MediaWiki message that contains the label of this link
 * 'href' : the name of the MediaWiki message that contains the link target of this link. Link targets starting with http are considered remote links. Ones not starting with http are considered as names of local wiki pages.
