Thread:Project:Support desk/Strange Characters in footer after basic 1.22 install/reply (4)

Hi Mark!

You see the strange sign inside te so called footer links. These links can be set up e.g. with the hook SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec. This can be done in LocalSettings.php, but also in extensions.

See Manual:Footer for more information.

Another option is:

The text of the footer links comes from the interface messages MediaWiki:Privacy, MediaWiki:Aboutsite and MediaWiki:Disclaimers. To disable one or more of these links, set the corresponding link text to a single hyphen (-).
