[operations/mediawiki-config@master] [Legal Footer] Create config for adding legal footer
I tested this locally by add to my LocalSettings:
$wgHooks['SkinAddFooterLinks'][] = function ( $sk, $key, &$footerlinks ) {
if ( $key !== 'places' ) {
return;
}
$footerlinks['legal-safety-contacts'] = \MediaWiki\Html\Html::element(
'a',
[ 'href' => \MediaWiki\Skin\Skin::makeInternalOrExternalUrl( $sk->msg( 'wikimedia-legal-safety-contacts-url' )->escaped() ) ],
$sk->msg( 'wikimedia-legal-safety-contacts' )->text()
);
};@aude to backport on Tuesday, December 2nd (with @LMora-WMF and potentially @Volker_E shadowing)
Deployment being handled by T410164: [Legal Footer] Turn on wmgUseLegalFooterContactLink config for phase 1 wikis
^ different deployment, but we can probably leave this in signoff instead of moving it and then moving it back in two hours
