Main navigation

The main navigation is displayed on all content pages in the wiki and does not change in individual namespaces.

Up to v.4.2, only the standard MediaWiki sidebar is available.

Starting BlueSpice 4.3, four different menu settings are available. Administrators can select a menu type in the Config manager.

All four types optionally show a list of pre-defined Entry points.

MediaWiki sidebar

This is the standard view of the sidebar. It displays custom menu items with no hierarchical structure.

Namespace main page list

This view automatically displays the Main Page of each content namespace.

  • No combination with other menu elements is possible.

Subpage tree (context-sensitive)

This view automatically shows the subpages of a page if that page has subpages. Multi-level subpages are supported.

  • No combination with other menu elements is possible.

Custom menu

Overview

In BlueSpice 4, an additional custom menu is integrated as a mega menu. This menu can be created and edited by users with admin rights. The link-icon (1) is only displayed once the corresponding page has been created.

If you don't see the menu icon in your wiki, create the following page: MediaWiki:CustomMenu/Header

Delete the custom menu

To remove the custom menu link-icon from the wiki, the MediaWiki:CustomMenu/Header page must be deleted. The page can be restored via the deletion log.
