Manual:Footer
Add links to the footer
| MediaWiki version: | ≥ 1.35 |
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'] = Html::rawElement( 'a', [
'href' => Title::newFromText(
$skin->msg( 'test-page' )->inContentLanguage()->text()
)->getFullURL()
], $skin->msg( 'test-desc' )->escaped() );
};
};
- External links
$wgHooks['SkinAddFooterLinks'][] = function ( Skin $skin, string $key, array &$footerlinks ) {
if ( $key === 'places' ) {
$footerlinks['test'] = Html::rawElement( 'a',
[
'href' => 'https://www.example.org/wiki/Project:Imprint',
'rel' => 'noreferrer noopener' // not required, but recommended for security reasons
],
$skin->msg( 'test-desc' )->escaped() // test-desc is an i18n message of the text
);
};
};
In the above examples, "test-page" and "test-desc" are the keys for the system messages added via the code. Do not forget to add the desired text to the pages "MediaWiki:Test-page" and "MediaWiki:Test-desc", respectively, after you added the code for the extra footer links to the "LocalSettings.php" file.
Add text to the footer
| MediaWiki version: | ≥ 1.35 |
You can also add custom text through LocalSettings.php. Here is an example to add wikitext to the footer:
$wgHooks['SkinAddFooterLinks'][] = function ( Skin $skin, string $key, array &$footerlinks ) {
if ( $key === 'info' ) {
$footerlinks['tagline'] = $skin->msg( 'footer-tagline' )->parse();
}
};
This adds footer-tagline as a key for the system message to be displayed in the footer.
After adding the code to LocalSettings.php, please edit the MediaWiki:Footer-tagline page to edit the newly-added footer text.
Customizing the built-in items
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. If you would like to add text to the footer, see #Add text to the footer.
To remove the privacy, about and/or disclaimer links entirely, replace the link text with a single dash ("-").
