The sidebar code is a hack and it is far from being user friendly.  User 
currently has to edit:
  - [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]
  - a message for link
  - a message for link name

We should just rewrite it from scratch, using some Special page to 
easily add / remove links. Save them to the database and the cache system.

As for the {{msg}}, it might help if you list the revisions.
