Bug ID: 61281
Summary: Rename 'Sidebar' to 'Navigation' or 'SimpleNavigation'
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Skin and page rendering
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The MediaWiki sidebar is only a sidebar in some skins; in others it can just as
easily be on top or bottom. It is, however, the standard basic customisable
navigation, and it tends to be shared between most skins, so it should have a
name to better reflect this, such as navigation, or perhaps simplenavigation if
we want to be more specific (and distinguish from, say, a nestednavigation and
so forth).
This would mean any mediawiki:sidebar would need to be moved.
But there would probably also need to be a 'sidebar' alias somewhere for
backwards compatibility: instead of calling any core Skin function, skins pull
up data['sidebar'] and implement their own functions to render the navigation.
So we can't just change which message is used for all of them in one fell
swoop. (Given that most seem to just copy these functions out of monobook, this
is probably another bug.)
