Hi.

Wiki url: http://veiskillewiki.laiv.org/

Version: 1.23.0

I've recently upgraded the wiki from 1.20 to 1.23. Everything went pretty much as expected, but the Sidebar now show the default set of choices, and it does not seem to react to changes to MediaWiki:Sidebar

http://veiskillewiki.laiv.org/MediaWiki:Sidebar

I've tried purging pages, touching LocalSettings.php, truncating the objectcache table and set $wgUseDatabaseMessages to true as described on Manual:Interface/Sidebar#Changes_not_showing_up, to no avail.

Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! Have you enabled SidebarCache in LocalSettings? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableSidebarCache

Hi! $wgEnableSidebarCache is not defined in LocalSettings, so I assume that it uses the default settings of "false".

Hello!

Sorry for the late reply :) I have tested your Sidebar on MW 1.24 (newest git version) and it work :/

In your wiki the message isn't updated too (http://veiskillewiki.laiv.org/index.php?title=Spesial%3AAlle+systembeskjeder&prefix=Sidebar&filter=all&lang=nb&limit=50). Now i have no idea, maybe you can update to 1.23.1 to fix some issues, maybe it help :(

Hi again. Thanks for the answer, you led me on to the right track. :)

It turns out that I had to change the language-spesific Sidebar-page, in this instance http://veiskillewiki.laiv.org/MediaWiki:Sidebar/nb in order for the changes to take effect.

I don't know why changes to the default page was not enough, but I assume that it might work on a wiki with english as default language.

Again, thanks for the help.

I have just added a few links on Manual:$wgEnableSidebarCache and Manual:$wgSidebarCacheExpiry and I have reworked Manual:Interface/Sidebar#Translations to include the hint in which case which Sidebar page will be used.

Ähm, i'm confused, that is new, if i'm right. In my german wiki i have edited MediaWiki:Sidebar and the sidebar has updated. Again learned :) Thanks for your reply!
