What is wrong?

Bug Description

There is an inconsistent naming convention for the tutorial sidebar in _config.yml. The sidebar is referenced as tutorial_sidebar in the page defaults configuration, but listed as tutorials_sidebar in the sidebars declaration list.

Location

File: _config.yml

• Singular usage (lines 98, 110):

  - scope:
      path: "content/tutorials"
      type: "pages"
    values:
      layout: "page"
      sidebar: tutorial_sidebar  # <-- singular
  
  - scope:
      path: "imported/tutorials/"
      type: "pages"
    values:
      layout: "page"
      sidebar: tutorial_sidebar  # <-- singular

• Plural usage (line 239):

  sidebars:
  - home_sidebar
  - docs_sidebar
  - tutorials_sidebar   # <-- plural
  - community_sidebar

Expected Behavior

All references to the tutorial sidebar should use a consistent naming convention. Since the actual sidebar file is named tutorial_sidebar.yml (singular) and all page defaults use the singular form, the entry in the sidebars: list should be changed to tutorial_sidebar.

Proposed Fix

Change line 239 in _config.yml:

 sidebars:
 - home_sidebar
 - docs_sidebar
-- tutorials_sidebar
+- tutorial_sidebar
 - community_sidebar

Impact

While Jekyll may currently handle this without visible errors due to how the sidebar data files are loaded, this inconsistency:

• May cause confusion for new contributors
• Could lead to issues with sidebar validation or iteration
• Violates the principle of consistent naming conventions

Checklist

• Verify the sidebar file is named tutorial_sidebar.yml (not tutorials_sidebar.yml)
• Update line 239 in _config.yml to use singular form
• Test that tutorials section still renders correctly
• Check if any other references to tutorials_sidebar exist in the codebase
