Manual talk:Footer

Footer not wrapping
Using MW1.6.8 and when viewed through IE7 the footer links are all shown in one long line. Wikipedia doesnt have this problem. I thought I would disable the poweredby icon but I'm not sure how. Any suggestions?


 * I disabled the nowrap line inside main.css and it now folds nicely. Look for the comment 'hide from incapable browsers' and comment the next line out.

More generic solution?
The manual mentions: "For example if you go in to MonoBook.php you will find the following code" and "this must be done for each template". Both statements are true, but the code in the various skins are not identical. I'm not familiar with php, so what I could find is the '$footerlinks' solution in Monobook and something to do with 'bottomLinks' in CologneBlue, Nostalgia and 'Standard'. However, I'm not sure how to modify this code, and I have no idea how other skins work. It would be nice if someone could describe this topic in more detail.

Ultimately my goal would be to add something to the footer for all skins. I definitely want to enable the copyright statement (which I can probably do in LocalSettings, I'll look it up), but it would also be nice to add some plain text, e.g. like Wikipedia has ("Wikipedia® is a registered trademark...").

Whear?
$footerlinks = array(       'lastmod', 'viewcount', 'numberofwatchingusers', 'credits', 'copyright',        'privacy', 'about', 'disclaimer', 'tagline', );

Where is this? I can't find it in Monobook.php.Dagoth Ur, Mad God 01:10, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Javascript?
HOW can I do the same in Monobook.js ??????? 89.12.9.51 01:36, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

External links?
I'd like to set up an external disclaimers-page. Can I set the URL as it is in *:Disclaimerpage? And (sorry I'm new in MediaWiki) what's up with other languages (im my case: german) is the name of those "setting-pages" translated? And if it is... how can I find it? Where is the name defined? -- Deus Figendi

What's credits?
"credits" is in the php code line, but what is it? No manual page, and a search for "credits" gives 120 hits, the first 20 of which are irrelevant: e.g., --Thnidu 22:53, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The Contribution Credits extension adds...
 * Also, be sure to include a credits block in...
 * It seems to be related to Manual:$wgMaxCredits --Frantik 23:26, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

First question
The first question on this page didn't have a level-2 header, so the answer to it -- which did -- came after the TOC. I rearranged it -- hope this is OK. --Thnidu 23:07, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
