Enable footercleanup everywhere
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Author: usermono

Description:
$wgVectorFeatures['footercleanup']['global'] = true; offers superior usability and was bundled with Vector. I'm not sure why it's not enabled, but it doesn't actually change messaging - it just looks better. It should work across all projects.

I'm not sure why it's not enabled, but it
doesn't
actually change messaging - it just looks better.

It does reorder stuff a little, and it removed the "edit help" link (which has a separate but about it, I believe).

Also, I'm in the process of reimplementing it and merging it into core: bug 43689. I should have it done in a week or two. It might be less disruptive if we only make such a change once.

The feature has been merged into core and will be enabled everywhere with the next MW wmf version.
