Description:
While not too important, it would be nice if MediaWiki one day had built-in
support for adding icons to the footer, without modifying the skin. This could
by used by many things, most notably to display a small icon advertising your
webhost (like what Wikia does). A new function, getHostedBy(), could be added to
the Skin class, and the options $wgHostedPage, $wgHostedUrl, $wgHostedIcon, and
$wgHostedText added to LocalSettings.php. Then, the skins distributed with
MediaWiki could display it the same way it does the Rights and Powered-by icons.
There could also be support for displaying multiple additional icons when, say
$wgAdditionalIcons, is given a multi-dimensional array (each array inside
defining the 4 values needed for each icon).
