Forum:Sidebar - Editor's Pick

Hi. On my wiki I recently tried to customize the "Top Content" section of the Sidebar to display specific articles in the "Editor's Pick" sub-menu. I followed the directions on the Help:Sidebar page and added the list of pages to the MediaWiki:Most popular articles page, but after several days they have failed to appear in the sidebar (it still displays its default list of the most visited pages). I added them as a simple list and then changed it to bullet points (since that's the way the wikistickes were done), but with no luck. Does anybody know the correct way of coding it, or is there something else that I am missing? Thanks, Yyp  (Talk) 13:21, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would report this to Special:Contact. I looked over your stuff over and it seems setup right, but your choices aren't appearing in the "Top Content" list. Looks like a bug. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 2:10 PM PST 5 Jun 2010


 * Thanks for that. I just wanted to check I wasn't simply missing something before I tried special contact. Message has been sent. Yyp  (Talk) 22:44, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Got this sorterd (thanks to Merrystar for the help). Thought I'd put the solution up here for anyone wondering how to do the same on their wiki. Very simple, just a list of the page names with a skipped line in between each one. No links or bullet points or anything else are required. Yyp (Talk) 19:13, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Page 1

Page 2

Page 3

etc


 * That's a pretty bad omission on the help page. It definitely isn't intuitive, but at least it's easy. I still think it's a bug. I'll add this info to the help page. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 12:45 PM PST 9 Jun 2010
