I had $wgSMTP set up to talk to a remote exchange server, but password resets just weren’t working from the wiki.

You could remove the if statements completely for each link you want removed, or just change the data value to something that will never result in entering the if statement. It’s less intrusive than removing the code completely. Either way, you won’t be deleting the toolbox function, only the link from the interface — which is exactly what I wanted. If you want to trim the navigation part of the sidebar, that’s built right in. Just go to Mediawiki:Sidebar and edit that page.
