is not the same as mw.legacy.wikibits's. The new one is in fact skin independant for all skins supported by core. It adds them to the known portlets when the skins supports it (such as in chick, modern, monobook, myskin, simple and vector), and otherwise it falls back to other locations that are used by the skin to place handy links. Such as #quickbar in the skin 'cologneblue' and 'standard'. And the area before #searchform in 'nostalgia' skin. See also mediaWiki.util.addPortletLink; Krinkle 12:58, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
