Remark

• This extension works from REL1_25 and has been tested up to MediaWiki version 1.39.0 .
• The SkinBuildSidebar hook of several skins no longer allows images and HTML code to be placed in the sidebar.

  A solution for this circumstance is not yet known.

  As a minimal solution, a simple text link to the “Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle Multimedia-Diensteanbieter e.V.” is now given. The most important thing is that the metadata insertion still works, so missing image in the navigation bar seems to be tolerable.

  This occurs in skin Vector since REL1_35 and skins Cologne Blue , Modern , MonoBook since REL1_37. Skin Timeless still works as usual.
