How do I add text to the bottom of page? such as how mediawiki has it on the bottom "Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply. See Terms of Use for details." Running MediaWiki 1.20.2

Thanks

Hi!

You can provide a link to the licence page with the variable $wgRightsPage in LocalSettings.php. See Manual:$wgRightsPage. That page also has links to $wgRightsText and $wgRightsIcon, which you might be interested in as well!

Thank you, I was able to find the code. Is there a way to put my own text and without "Text is available under the"?

Not without an extension (do not hack the core files itself: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Do_not_hack_MediaWiki_core). You can use Hooks to add elements to a specific point of the site, e.g. SkinAfterContent: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/SkinAfterContent

You can customize the Copyrigth text with this hook: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/SkinCopyrightFooter
