Text for the link should be automatically set based on the URL (doesn't this happen already for icon?). Current system encourages people to add random text, and inconsistency is especially bad if you try to get something useful out of the API. What does the installer set currently?
The link URL, textual name, and icon URL are set at install time by the installer, either from its own predefined list or from the data returned from the Creative Commons license picker web thingy. Per code comments, it looks pretty clear by definition that the two must be set together: /** * If either $wgRightsUrl or $wgRightsPage is specified then this variable gives the text for the link. * If using $wgRightsUrl then this value must be specified. If using $wgRightsPage then the name of the * page will also be used as the link if this variable is not set. */ $wgRightsText = null;
