1.37.0-wmf.17 deployment moved footer from bottom of the page to left column in Monobook
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Open https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia?useskin=monobook and scroll to the bottom. The footer including license note seems to have disappeared. But it moved to the left column, have a look under the the interwiki list. It seems to be related to the recent 1.37.0-wmf.17 deployment.

Event Timeline

This may be an instance of fallout from T287410: ResourceLoaderSkinModule: Skins should not use the legacy styling feature as mentioned by @Jdlrobson in T281158#7253330:

FYI to the train conductor:

This week might see some bug reports around missing user interface styles in MonoBook, Modern and CologneBlue skins relating to T287410.
This week might also see some complaints from MonoBook users due to a disruption caused by a user preference switchover which users were notified about in T285991. This is not a regression and is easily fixed by a visit to Special:Preferences.

Neither of these should be treated as deploy blockers if encountered but please redirect any users or bug reports to me and/or the relevant tickets as appropriate.
