How about renaming Main.SideBar into PmWiki.SideBarExample? IMO:

* Most pages that come with the distribution should be in PmWiki/
* The page becomes an example

At the top of the page we can write something like:

	To create a ''sidebar'' for a group you just create a page 
	called @@<group>.SideBar@@. You can use this page as an example 
	of what you can have in your sidebar. [[ThisPage:?action=source
	show source of this page]].

Btw, what happens if you create a page called Main.SideBar and do:

	[[redirect:PmWiki.SideBarExample]]
