Currently it's possible to append to the toolbox by using mw.util.addPortletLink or via the SkinTemplateNavigation hook, however it's not possible to extend it via the MediaWiki:Sidebar.
It's proposed that it should be possible to append links to the end of the toolbox with the following syntax:
navigation * mainpage|mainpage-description TOOLBOX * toolbox link
In Vector 2022 this change would be significant given the toolbox can appear on the right hand side of the screen.

Bug 419: Make it easier to add links to the sidebar (navbar)
Hallo!
According to Brion there is no way to add new items to the "toolbox" using
MediaWiki messages.
Some wiki's may require adaptations to the toolbox as additional links for
transliterations etc.
Please implement this in a similar fassion as [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]].
Thanks in advance! best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
