I changed it to Server. I've also removed a few items. Does that feel  
better? I know it's still a lot. I agree that we don't want to jam  
too much in the RIGHTNAV, but I think having the x-links there are  
preferable to having them on a separate page or in the body of the  
wiki. It seems onerousl to make people go a separate page just to  
list out 3-5 links. Keeping content that is concise (not too many  
characters) out of the body of the wiki page also decreases the total  
# of sections in the body content and shortens the page.

I think we just need to find the right balance of content in the  
RIGHTNAV. Does anyone else have any thoughts about this issue?

Ooh, I figured out why this happens...it happens if you forget the  
all-important %OSAFTEMPLATEEND% at the bottom :)

Done.

This is just so that when you or I want to create example pages for  
how to use the various wiki templates, we can do so with the  
SampleSidebar, without contaminating real content.
