Remarks[edit]
- This extension works from REL1_25 and has been tested up to MediaWiki version 1.39.0 .
- The SkinBuildSidebar hook of several skins no longer allows images and HTML code to be placed in the sidebar.
- A solution for this circumstance is not yet known.
- As a minimal solution, a simple text link to the donation page is now given.
- This occurs in Skin Vector since REL1_35 and Skins Cologne Blue , Modern and MonoBook since REL1_37. Skin Timeless still works as usual.
