Manual:Footer
Edit
| MediaWiki version: | ≥ 1.35 |
In MediaWiki 1.35, links can be added or overridden via the SkinAddFooterLinks hook. (See Manual:Footer/legacy for older installs.) For example, in an extension:
- Internal links
// Add a link to the page "Test Page" with the text "Test", allowing modification by wiki administrators
// test-desc and test-page are i18n messages with the text of the link and the name of the page, respectively
public static function onSkinAddFooterLinks( Skin $skin, string $key, array &$footerlinks ) {
if ( $key === 'places' ) {
$footerlinks['test'] = $skin->footerLink( 'test-desc', 'test-page' );
}
}
- External links
// Add a link to this page (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/?curid=6031)
// test-desc is an i18n message of the text
public static function onSkinAddFooterLinks( Skin $skin, string $key, array &$footerlinks ) {
if ( $key === 'places' ) {
$footerlinks['test'] = Html::element( 'a',
[
'href' => 'https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/?curid=6031',
'rel' => 'noreferrer noopener' // not required, but recommended for security reasons
],
$skin->msg( 'test-desc' )->text()
}
}
Or if you are a site admin you can do it in LocalSettings.php. See the examples for:
- Internal links
$wgHooks['SkinAddFooterLinks'][] = function ( Skin $skin, string $key, array &$footerlinks ) {
if ( $key === 'places' ) {
$footerlinks['test'] = $skin->footerLink( 'test-desc', 'test-page' );
};
};
- External links
// Add a link to this page (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/?curid=6031)
// test-desc is an i18n message of the text
$wgHooks['SkinAddFooterLinks'][] = function ( Skin $skin, string $key, array &$footerlinks ) {
if ( $key === 'places' ) {
$footerlinks['test'] = Html::element( 'a',
[
'href' => 'https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/?curid=6031',
'rel' => 'noreferrer noopener' // not required, but recommended for security reasons
],
$skin->msg( 'test-desc' )->text()
);
};
};
Customizing the built-in itemsEdit
You can also customize the individual built-in items by modifying certain pages or parameters:
lastmod- edit MediaWiki:Lastmodifiedat. If $wgMaxCredits is enabled then edit MediaWiki:Lastmodifiedatby. You may also want to edit MediaWiki:othercontribs that shows other contributors. (6518)
credits-
- if $wgMaxCredits is not zero it will display page editors
- i.e. set
$wgMaxCredits = 10;or any other number
copyright- edit MediaWiki:Copyright. The parameter $1 on that page is replaced with a link to the details of copyright for your wiki. In LocalSettings.php $wgRightsText for the link text and set either $wgRightsPage or $wgRightsUrl with the location of a wiki page or external URL.
privacy- this is a link only. Edit MediaWiki:Privacy for the link text and MediaWiki:Privacypage for the wiki page to which to link.
about- this is a link only. Edit MediaWiki:Aboutsite for the link text and MediaWiki:Aboutpage for the wiki page to which to link.
disclaimer- this is a link only. Edit MediaWiki:Disclaimers for the link text and MediaWiki:Disclaimerpage for the wiki page to which to link.
tagline- not currently used in the footer
To remove the privacy, about and/or disclaimer links entirely, replace the link text with a single dash ("-").
ImagesEdit
- See $wgFooterIcons.
Text and ImagesEdit
As of September 2016, there does not seem to be a standard way to add an entry which consists of text and an image at the same time.
