I want to provide my users with some permanent information using kind of an
infobox either in the sidebar or in the footer. However, the sidebar seems
to render only links. The same goes for the footer AFAIU

Any ideas or pointers how to achieve this

You should give the DPL extension a try for creating such reports or even add
your template automatically to such pages:

Have you tried using the parser function syntax instead of tags? Usually it's
more powerful.

OpenOffice can open Word files and lets you export text as MediaWiki
AFAIK most import scripts map one file to one wiki page.
But you could use MediaWiki's XML import/export format for multipage imports
from one file (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_XML_dumps).
Converting your Word content to XML might be a bit tougher but should be
manageable.
Try changing the width with CSS in MediaWiki:Vector.css, the default is 9em,
on Wikipedia it's 14em.
#simpleSearch input#searchInput {
