To modify the footer in MediaWiki pages, I had to edit skins/MonoBook.php. I added this line:
<p><table><tr><td><img src="/w/images/e/ef/Nihlogo.gif" alt="National Institutes of Health"></td><td>GMOD is supported by a specific cooperative agreement from the USDA Agricultural Research Service, and by NIH grants co-funded from the National Human Genome Research Institute and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.</td><td><img src="/w/images/7/7e/ARSlogo.jpg" alt="USDA Agricultural Research Service"></td></tr></table><hr /></p>
Here is what the surrounding code looked like:
<!-- end of the left (by default at least) column -->
<?php
if($this->data['poweredbyico']) { ?>
<?php $this->html('poweredbyico') ?>
<?php }
if($this->data['copyrightico']) { ?>
<?php $this->html('copyrightico') ?>
<?php }
// Generate additional footer links
?>
<!--#######INSERT FOOTER HERE###########-->
<ul id="f-list">
<?php
$footerlinks = array(
'lastmod', 'viewcount', 'numberofwatchingusers', 'credits', 'copyright',
'privacy', 'about', 'disclaimer', 'tagline',
);
foreach( $footerlinks as $aLink ) {
if( isset( $this->data[$aLink] ) && $this->data[$aLink] ) {
?> <li id="<?php echo$aLink?>"><?php $this->html($aLink) ?></li>
