I'm sorry, I mxed up (2) and (3), they should be like this:

Edit "MediaWiki:Sidebar"

You will see things like:

* navigation
** mainpage-url|mainpage

* navigation(1)
** mainpage-url(2)|mainpage(3)

(1)
* navigation -- is MediaWiki:navigation.  Look inside there, you will
see the words which will appear.  "navigation" is inside
MediaWiki:navigation, so you will see "navigation" in your sidebar.

So you can make:
* mypage

And if you change MediaWiki:mypage to say "this is my page", then
those words inside will show in your sidebar.

** mainpage-url|mainpage -- This is two things: mainpage-url and mainpage

(3)
"mainpage" is MediaWiki:mainpage.  What is inside MediaWiki:mainpage
is what will display in ths sidebar.  So if you change it to "my text"
it will show in the sidebar as "my text".

(2)
"mainpage-url" is MediaWiki:mainpage-url.  What is inside
MediaWiki:mainpage-url is where "mainpage" will send the user when
they click.  So if you change it to "Sitemap" it will send the user to
the page "Sitemap".

Please tell me if you need more help, or if you need my english to be
more simple.
