Hello, everyone. I thought I would bounce out this non-urgent question while I put off doing actual work. :)
I added the following line to my LocalSettings.php file:
$wgSiteSupportPage = 'https://www.example.com/contributions/';
And I hoped that a link similar to the "Donations" link on the English Wikipedia site would automagically show up.
Well, that was three days after 1.4.0 came out and there's still no link (I have not requested an upgrade from 1.4.0 from our security team yet, since will be no public access for some time). Assuming it's not a problem in 1.4.0, are there any ideas on what I'm missing?

I don't know for sure. When I upgraded my wikis to 1.4.1 the donations links that had been set up disappeared (I put the original line back in LocalSettings.php, but there was no result). I had to put the link in [[Mediawiki:sitesupport-url]] to make it appear.

This page already has the test "Project:Site support" in it, but there is no support link listed. Does anyone else know?

My best guess is that [[MediaWiki:sitesupport]] contains a "-" rather than the text to display for the link (e.g. "Support us now!").

Yes, it still contains a "-", and I was hesitant to change it on the live site before I was certain my LocalSettings.php was being ignored. I did pass the Navigation array message, and now everything makes sense.
This is really a handy feature. The others on my team don't have access to any files on the server, so this suits us perfect. I suppose those lines in DefaultSettings.php ought to be cleaned up. Is that the sort of thing one files a bug report for?

Er, which lines... oh, you mean this? $wgSiteSupportPage = ''; # A page where you users can receive donations
Yeah, file a bug report, I guess. Blerg, the code seems to still contain references to that var; that's ugly (unless I'm mistaken)...

The old-style skins still use it, but it's sort of broken. Needs clean-up. (I'm pretty sure there is already a bug filed on this.)

Mediazilla.
Also, the documentation at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Configuration_settings_index#.24wgSiteSupportPage Could user work. I don't really know that much, so I can't fill in details.

I've marked it as superceded, and linked to that FAQ section, because I think that's basically true, at least in theory.
BTW, I notice there's no $wgNavigationLinks in that page yet...

Yeah. There's a bunch of settings I haven't added yet. If you look after the last section, the remaining part of DefaultSettings.php that needs to be added. Mostly, I'm just copying the comments there. It's not hard, just tedious.
