Get rid of the sibling sidebar about mycorrhiza HOT 6 CLOSED

I strongly suggest that wording be revised. Right now the warning sounds like a threat. Not that many people read stdout/err logs because they're usually piped to files, too, so a warning underneath the sidebar for admins might work better (if it's really needed). Something like "⚠ Sibling hyphae sidebar will be removed soon. You're strongly encouraged to migrate from hierarchy to a flat structure—consider [[tags]]." (where [[tags]] is the link to documentation or a helpful guide showing examples on how to structure a wiki using tags and links and that strange Unicode symbol is a warning sign).

As of the whole plan and alternatives, sounds reasonable to me. A cloud of tags might be overkill for the core engine because it's not the simplest layout ever. A MediaWiki-esque sidebar sounds neat and would declutter the top bar, yeah.

@handlerug I like the idea of showing the warning in the UI, let's go with it.

We also need the auto-renaming feature for a smoother transition to the flat structure. Currently, if I rename a hypha, all links to it break. It makes renaming hundreds of hyphae an even bigger hassle.

Implementation it is not trivial. Mycomarkup lib cannot be used for that yet. Regexes will work fine for inline links, rocket links and transclusion, but they would not work for img, they would require a special algorithm.

Should auto-renaming happen in separate edits/commits?

It didn't happen in the end.

We've got redirection hyphae #152 now. Doesn't really solve the problem, but it is adjacent.

I want to get rid of the sidebar in 1.11. Or 1.12, if I am shy.

Oh wait, the sidebar is no more for some time already. Closing
