Modern search engines evaluate JavaScript, so it is unclear whether they will crawl a link that is hidden via JavaScript. Also, if they do see the link, there could be an SEO penalty. There are reports that Google penalizes hidden backlinks (in other words, hidden links that exist solely to game the page rank algorithm), but it's unclear whether that applies to intra-site hidden links.
Regardless, since d0e2ead20f0ca159503b2871667452abcedd4c2e, all sidebar links are actual links, so search engines can crawl the entire site without /panel/file_links.html. Therefore, this commit removes /panel/file_links.html.
