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

From the MediaWiki manual:

  • $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
  • $wgRightsIcon - the URL of the image placed at the left of the footer.

To modify the copyright statements of the site:

  1. Add something like this to LocalSettings.php:
    $wgRightsPage = "YourWiki:Copyright";
    $wgRightsText = "copyright YourWiki";
  2. Edit MediaWiki:Copyright to provide an appropriate message, using "$1" to indicate the position where the link to your copyright page will be.
