How do I edit the sidebar menu?

1. Enter the following in your browser's URL field: 

<<your_web_site_address>>/MediaWiki:Sidebar

2. Edit the page. The format is very simple. Start a line with one asterisk to begin a heading for a new navigation section. Start a line with two asterisks to define a link. Separate the link from the label with a bar. Here's an example: 

* navigation
** mainpage|mainpage
** recentchanges-url|recentchanges
** randompage-url|randompage
