- # 24742
Several sidebars and logic have been removed already in J4 backend. Because I fiddle a bit about custom backend templates just a question which code concerning sidebars will be removed in Joomla 4 (I don't want to start a new discussion here).
As example: Removal of com_templates sidebar (#24092)
Now I would like to know if codes like
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/4.0-dev/administrator/components/com_templates/View/Templates/HtmlView.php#L113
and
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/4.0-dev/administrator/components/com_templates/Helper/TemplatesHelper.php#L34-L46
will also be removed without replacement from all Joomla extensions.
And if the class JHtmlSidebar will be removed, too?
@brianteeman Do you have detailed informations yet?

As far as I understood there is no real sidebar position. If Component creators use it they create their own sidebar thing. The removal of the sidebar in Joomla is because we have a sidemenu and the items go into that one. At least I guess so. Maybe @bembelimen can confirm or clarify.
Not sure why you tagged me in this
The Sidebar (and its JHtmlSidebar classes) will not be removed, but the core will not use them anymore (at least tries it). Because with the left menu you'll lose a lot of space, when using the sidebar.
Probably the layout position will change in some way, but the functionality will still exists.

Because it's your pr but didn't remove the lines that I've linked to in #24742 (comment) When I look into the codes for articles view public static function addSubmenu($vName) is an empty method now. Thus I thought you know more about the next steps.
Others:
My question is not concerning Atum. I understood the decision is incontrovertible for that template.
I'm talking about custom backend templates. When the code lines that I've linked to in #24742 (comment) remain untouched in core I just have to add a sidebar position in my custom template and the sidebar can be populated easily in overrides.
If lines and methods like https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/4.0-dev/administrator/components/com_templates/Helper/TemplatesHelper.php#L34-L46 are removed or cleaned out completely I have to build my own classes and methods inside the template codes/overrides.
That's all I'm asking ;-) "I hate redundant code in my extensions."
The Sidebar (and its JHtmlSidebar classes) will not be removed
Good news for me. Thanks.

I hope not. Some 3rd party components use it.
