Hmmm... wmf may not have been using footerlinks and may have instead been using a custom skin hack that got un-done when upgraded.

• The contact us should be added in with the SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec hook by modifying $tpl->data['footerlinks'][???].
• Wikimedia also seams to display: block; the copyright and if visible lastmod line, the monobook css should be tweaked in some wmf specific place (typically the proper place for this would be a wiki's site-css but in wmf's case this applies to all wmf wikis but no default-mw wikis so some wmf common stylesheet is the proper thing here).

Actually, this is not a regression. It seems that the English Wikipedia have made local overrides to pretty this up a bit, by adding <br> statements.

http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farrah_Fawcett?useskin=monobook on 1.17wmf1 behaves the same as the dutch 1.18 it seems.

So not a regression, but still ugly, and something that we should probably improve.

presently in my localhost I could find only three links in the footer are "private policy" , "about wiki" and "disclimars" and even there is no link for the copyright information in the footer Is this issue about adding the "contact us" link and copyright information in the monobook skin footer ?

No, this is regarding a layout issue (which we should maybe just close... ). Presence of elements in the footer is dictated on other criteria as described in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Footer
