The SimpleFooterLink extension provides a simple way to add any link that system administrators want to footer link area.

This extension requires MW 1.35.0 or higher. If you have lower MW version, just simply use legacy way.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called SimpleFooterLink in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'SimpleFooterLink' );
  $wgSimpleFooterLinkArray = [ /* see [[#Configuration parameters]] */ ];
  

• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

1. Add link to a wiki page at footer link area:

   $wgSimpleFooterLinkArray = [
       [
           "name" => "ALink",
           "tag" => "a",
           "attr" => [
               "href" => "Extension:SimpleFooterLink"
           ],
           "innerHTML" => "Extension:SimpleFooterLink",
       ]
   ];
   

   The link Extension:SimpleFooterLink will be added.
2. You can add extenal link, multiple links, links with blob text, and even not link but <table> (but to be honest table looks ugly in this situation):

   $wgSimpleFooterLinkArray = [
       [
           "name" => "ALink",
           "tag" => "a",
           "attr" => [
               "href" => "https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleFooterLink"
           ],
           "innerHTML" => "Extension:SimpleFooterLink",
       ],
       [
           "name" => "AnotherLink",
           "tag" => "a",
           "attr" => [
               "href" => "https://zh.moegirl.org.cn/",
               "target" => "_blank"
           ],
           "innerHTML" => "<b>MoegirlPedia</b>",
       ],
       [
           "name" => "NotALink",
           "tag" => "table",
           "attr" => [
               "style" => "border-width: 0;",
               "class" => "wikitable"
           ],
           "innerHTML" => "<tr><td>cell</td></tr>",
       ]
   ];
