Hello, After extensively searching the internet, I have been unable to find out how to put a line of text above/below the usual links in the footer (Terms of Service, About, etc.). This would be a line of plain text visible on every page. Imagine it saying something like "This wiki is for X-specific use by Y-specific people" or some such jazz. I would like to be able to add a line of plain text visible at the bottom of every page. I am running version 1.19.1 Thank you for the help, it is much appreciated.

I would suggest using the uselang=qqx to find the message you want to modify or add to and edit that. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:System_message for more information.

Take a look at how it was done for WMF sites: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions/WikimediaMessag...
