I have a Wiki with several pages, going down many levels.
I want to customize the sidebar so that on each page, the previous linked page is displayed here. How can I do that?

On the sidebar might be a little complicated. Otherwise, see Extension:BreadCrumbs, Extension:BreadCrumbs2 and Extension:JSBreadCrumbs.
@AhmadF.Cheema thank you for this information. Would each page in the hierarchy level automatically show the breadcrumbs for the path? Or do I have to customize it for each page?
For example, assume that I have the following pages, each one is branched as a link from the previous one. Assume that these are the page names:
A_1
B_1
C_1
In this case, how do I configure the breadcrumb?
I've not used the extension so I'm not completely sure about the usage.
From what I understand, first you'll have to plan how you want the breadcrumbs to be structured. Is it going to be in the "How did I get here?" sense - this would be similar to the browser back button; or is it going to be in the "Where am I?" sense - this would be similar to the categories, sub-categories hierarchy.
Extension:BreadCrumbs2, works through the latter method. I don't think the hierarchy level will show up automatically, it will have to be first defined in the [[MediaWiki:Breadcrumbs]]
page.
From what I understand of Extension:BreadCrumbs2#Navigation, the navigation setup will be of the sort of:
Main_page > Category_1 > Category_2 > Category_3 >
In the above case, if A_1 belongs to Category_3
, this breadcrumbs will show up for page A_1 (and other pages in this category). I think A_1 has to be actually present only in Category_3
and not the other ones.
