[opensuse-wiki] [Wiki Feature Request]Support Nested Layout in Mediawiki:Sidebar in Bento
Hi, all. Here's a feature request. 1. Due to marketing needs, I sometimes (twice a year) have to highlight a self-made (Chinese-only) draft Portal in the sidebar, eg: https://zh.opensuse.org/Portal:12.3_draft to list the changes, features and bugs of the upcoming openSUSE in my language. I think if it can be placed under Distributions category instead of the same level with Distributions, it will attract users to see its father portal and be more clear. 2. I added a Chinese-only portal called Translation. which has two directions: GUI translation (i18n) and documentation translation. I want them to be displayed like this: ** Translation *** GUI *** User Manual 3. Actually it is a feature that MediaWiki supports, see mediawiki.org, but get eliminated by our Bento theme (we didn't provide css for such layout so that they are displayed at the same level). 4. We all know that our wiki is a little unfriendly to newbies (I don't want to talk more, that's my feeling and I might be wrong). It has so many Portals that useful information are actually hidden miles away, you have to use Google search to dig them. But Google doesn't exist in China at all, although it does exist on our planet. Our Local search engine which is Baidu doesn't seem to have zh.opensuse.org crawled carefully (you can find our index, but no more details). It means if I didn't place it on index, it would just get ignored. So technically I need the capability to use such layouts to be recovered. So, please.

You mean something like ** Distribution *** Portal:12.3_draft I'm not sure if nesting in the sidebar is possible (just try it ;-) As an alternative, maybe you can do some tricks by using

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sidebar contains only * and ** I didn't check it, but my guess is that they have some special CSS for the "navigation" box in the sidebar [1]. You can probably add something similar to Mediawiki:Common.css if you want.
