It is somewhat traditional to display "last changed" information, version numbers, and the like in page footers, but you don't seem to show the MediaWiki version number in the page footers for your sites. Not in Vector, anyway. I think it would be a good idea, and the version number statement might as well link to Special:Version while you're at it.

I think its better to avoid adding things to the page output unless they're needed (avoid interface creep). I don't really see a compelling reason to do this.
I don't see a good reason to expose this information by default on every page, to every user - how many users would be interested in knowing this actually? I'll close this as WONTFIX. Samuel: If there are good reasons to display this, please elaborate.
