.. from configuration, of course. Not inside MobileFrontend, again.

And the legal reason only applies to the footer on mobile? Not to any other
footer, and not to the logo anywhere (mobile nor desktop)?

Afaik WMF doesn't have trademarks outside the US. All services are primarily
hosted in the US and subject to US law. And all Wikipedia editions (in desktop
skins that is) the wmf-copyright message in the footer is the same:

"Wikipedia® is a registered trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., a
non-profit organization."

We dont show ™ anywhere afaik, only in the footer of non-Wikipedia mobile
sites.

I'm curious what the (intended) legal pattern was/is.
