Forum:Sidebar submenu doesn't scroll

I've added google translate links to our Monaco sidebar and they work when I can see them. But the list is long, and doesn't scroll, and most of the entries disappear off the bottom of the page. Is there something I can do, or is this a limitation of MediaWiki? Is there some other way I can get google translate links on every page - without editing every page? Thanks.

 * Can't help much because of that sidebar bug :

 * Sure, i can add ?uselang=en to the URL but...
 * By the way, why are you duplicating interlanguage links ? — TulipVorlax 23:19, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Interlanguage links are to different language versions of the same wikia - right? The std set are pretty far down the sidebar where they might not be noticed.  But that's not what I'm talking about.  The links I added to the sidebar, and which Tom has reverted out, were to translate the existing page into a long list of other languages (for most of which there isn't a corresponding solar cooking wiki).  This revision has the links I had put in.  The main page has the links across the top.  Is there a way to put a template on every page - without editing every page? Would editing the Monaco.css page do it?  I'm a bit nervous about touching that one...  Beth Ogilvie 04:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Looking at the revison, it's easy to tell you that you're not supposed to put url like that in the sidebar.
 * I copied it over at fr.3d :

 * I can see it all because i have a 2048x1152 screen.
 * But even on small screen we can access the bottom of this simply by using the mouse wheel to scroll the page.
 * But, try thoses links on fr.3d : c:fr.3d:Wings 3D.
 * They will never work it seems.
 * You understand why ? — TulipVorlax 08:32, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Customizing Monaco shows external links in the sidebar, and they did work for me. Maybe the google translator only goes from English to other languages.  Anyway, we're abandoning this approach in favor of something that makes the links more visible (when we figure out what that is).  Thanks for looking at it, Tulip - and pointing out that there is a way to scroll - with the right equipment!  I have my touchpad configured with scroll zones, so I was able to make it work, but not everyone does...  Beth Ogilvie 16:58, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Not everyone use a laptop as their main computer neighter.
 * But, the reason why it's not functionning is not because they are externals links : it is because is not giving the name of the visited page. I though you would see it on fr.3d... It's always mediawiki:monaco-sidebar... — TulipVorlax 17:49, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Magic words doesn't work on sidebar because of caching. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 09:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
