Sam4: No need to apologize. I reread it and realize it can be ambiguous. I will restate it. The only issues come up if it was a wall of the Beis Hamikdash. This was an assumption for many years (in fact, many storybooks and every Chabad camp I have ever heard of still say it is) which is just plain not true. The Kotel is one of the retaining walls of Har Habayis. There is a discussion in the Poskim that that may have certain Kedushos as well, but Lema’aseh almost all of the Poskim say there are no issues whatsoever.
