WikiShare sets "follow us" link in sidebar even if disabled
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

WikiShare sets links "Follow us" and "Share" in the sidebar as default.

Setting

$wgWikiShare['sidebar'] = false;

does not remove both links.

List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):

  • install WikiShare
  • install and enable Chameleon Skin
  • set the above sidebar variable to false

What happens?:
WikiShare does not display the share link anymore, but still displays the "follow us" link.
I only tested this in chameleon skin. Using the vector skin, no links are displayed at all.

What should have happened instead?:
Both links should be gone if the parameter is set.

Software version (if not a Wikimedia wiki), browser information, screenshots, other information, etc:
MediaWiki 1.35.3, chameleon 3.3.0 and WikiShare REL1_35

I have the same issue with chameleon skin and mediawiki 1.35.5.
I also added $wgWikiShareFollow['sidebar'] = false; but it was useless.

[SOLVED]:

Add this to LocalSettings.php:

$wgWikiShare['follow'] = false;
