Hi, we are using the solution from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar/Hacks (you will need the modification from the talk page) We added additional handling of the toolbox section, too, by assigning similar solution to the hook $wgHooks['BaseTemplateToolbox'][] based on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Seb35/modifyToolbox Ingo Am 24.03.2017 um 12:57 schrieb Phil Legault: -- Ingo Gabriel Verband der W.K.St.V.

We included the hook code and php function into the Localsettings.php and created the additional page for the anon-sidebar as wiki page I can provide the php code if interested in. Best regards Ingo Am 24.03.2017 um 15:00 schrieb Phil Legault:

In the anon_page we only provide the site logo so it's not nice but ok for us. Hadn't time to dig into the skin code. May be it is hard coded or needs an additional hook. Just for completeness: We are currently on MW 1.26 using vector skin.
