You have to create a sidebar in the same namespace as the setting for sidebar in your configuration options. In the default dokuwiki template the default location for the sidebar is in the root namespace. So if you want it in the wiki: namespace, you have to change that to :wiki:sidebar.
That is incorrect. The config option is only for the sidebar *name*. The namespace doesn't matter. Having a sidebar page in the wiki namespace is fine. In that case, it will only show in that namespace. A sidebar page in the root namespace would mean the sidebar shows everywhere. That way you can have different sidebars depending on the namespace.
