The global links menu ([[MediaWiki:Global-links-menu]]) is supposed to show up only when that MediaWiki: message has been defined with some content; by default the message itself isn't even defined (because it's used across many skins, so defining it in only one skin would likely cause some unexpected side-effects). As intended, after installing the skin, the global links menu does not show up unless explicitly confirmed; tested on MediaWiki 1.35.0 and the git master version of the HasSomeColours skin as of a few minutes ago.

Hi ashley,

Many thanks for explanation.

I am using MediaWiki 1.35.1.

I did not go through any sequence to comfirm it.

How can I do it? Can you please let me know?

BR.

Hi
[ @Aklapper : I am sorry I read how to document and I will be careful more to comment or raise issue in here. Thanks. ]

Ashely,

I installed MediaWiki as following command. sudo git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/core.git --branch REL1_35 /var/www/mediawiki

Can you please explain more how to remove global links in my side?

Sorry, there was a typo in my original comment, the "confirmed" should have been "configured". That's to say, the global links menu isn't showing up unless you created the on-wiki page, MediaWiki:Global-links-menu, which sets it up. If that page exists, try either deleting it or setting its content to - (just a single dash character and nothing else).

Hi Ashley,

Many thanks. ;)

Okay, this should now be fixed, but the linked change requires mw 1.36 because I'm a dumbarse and forgot to separate the changes. That being said, if you're willing to hack the skin, you should be able to use just the updated includes/HasSomeColoursTemplate.php file with 1.35 and it'll work properly there, too.

I... think.

Okay, this should actually be fixed, for real, for sure, now. Apparently I forgot to define one of the message strings and that was the actual problem. Or another problem. It looks like there may have been several things going on here...
