Splitting this out from bug 22516 comment 14 by Quiddity:

Re: this bug - I believe (part of) the original intent is to:
A) rethink/standardize/centralize the items in
[[MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
[[mw:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
[[c:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
[[d:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
[[m:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
[[ur:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
*etc at all ~900 wikis*
(plus the "-anon" variants, eg [[c:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer-anon]] )
Because the links at various wikis are frequently
* broken/outdated
* or missing
* or in a confusing order
* or in a language we can't read.
Someone would need to research the links in the hundreds of
Sp-contributions-footer pages, and compile the best ones, whilst noting any
instances that are uniquely-local and cannot be merged into a global tool (if
any).

This enhancement request might ultimately be a ticket against MediaWiki
extensions --> WikimediaMessages, but this needs further thought and
consideration first. I think a clear problem has been identified (footers that
are duplicative and difficult to maintain), I'm just not sure what the best
path forward is yet. There are other options such as interwiki transclusion
(hah). We need to develop a plan.
