Mailing List Archive: MythTV Wiki Main Page side bar editing.

MythTV Wiki Main Page side bar editing.

Hello,

Does anyone know how to edit the MythTV Wiki Main Page side bar? In particular the
link for 'Mailing List Archives'? I've tried editing the main page but the side bar seems
beyond me. :-)

At the moment it points to http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/[1] which
gives the Carbon60 main page. It probably needs to point to http://lists.mythtv.org/
pipermail/[2]?

This was brought up by a post on the forum https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?
p=26863#p26863[3]

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sidebar is what you want.

I believe you'll need editinfo permissions (or administrator
more generally which includes that), not just ordinary Editor.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar has
more info about how this is supposed to work.

However, since the target of that particular item points to
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Mailinglistarchive-url
you can probably just edit this one page if you're not trying
to change the layout of the sidebar itself, and this page
probably doesn't require any special permissions.

Thanks very much for that.

I've now changed that URL. If anyone has a problem with where that points to
please let me know.
