This page lists various sidebars and their purposes. The titles, contents, and widths of sidebars are controllable. Sidebars are used to display all kinds of information, ranging from sidequests to important reminders. While they should not be overused, they definitely add to the readability of our articles!
Keep in mind that these are not infoboxes, and infoboxes should be treated differently! Infoboxes contain specific types of information, whereas sidebars can contain any type of information.
