@ -16,6 +16,10 @@ will turn off the sidebar altogether.
Warning: Any change to the sidebar will cause a rebuild of the whole wiki,
since every page includes a copy that has to be updated. This can
especially be a problem if the sidebar includes [[inline]] or [[map]]
directives, since any changes to pages inlined or mapped onto the sidebar
especially be a problem if the sidebar includes an [[ikiwiki/directive/inline]]
directive, since any changes to pages inlined into the sidebar
will change the sidebar and cause a full wiki rebuild.
Instead, if you include a [[ikiwiki/directive/map]] directive on the sidebar,
and it does not use the `show` parameter, only adding or removing pages
included in the map will cause a full rebuild. Modifying pages will not.
