[Resolved] QUESTION
Fragment of a discussion from Project:Support desk
The text that appears at the bottom of the page can be customized by editing MediaWiki:Copyright on your wiki. The text that will replace $1 can be customized by changing $wgRightsText in your LocalSettings.php file.
But if you leave $1 out of the new text of MediaWiki:Copyright, you don't need to worry about $wgRightsText at all because it won't be seen.
And please, try it on your wiki. You can't do anything to the message on this wiki.
