__TBD: There are two copyright pages, only one should be used.__

$wgRightsPage - the page on the wiki that covers the copyrights. (E.g. Project:Copyrights)
$wgRightsUrl - external page describing details of your license.
$wgRightsText - the text in the footer that follows "Content is available under".

It is linked to the page specified in $wgRightsPage, if not empty.

Otherwise, it is linked to $wgRightsUrl

To modify the copyright statements of the site:

Add something like this to LocalSettings.php:
$wgRightsPage = "YourWiki:Copyright";

$wgRightsText = "copyright YourWiki";
Edit MediaWiki:Copyright to provide an appropriate message, using "$1" to indicate the position where the link to your copyright page will be.
