Created attachment 9113 [details] 1.18
Hmmm... wmf may not have been using footerlinks and may have instead been using a custom skin hack that got un-done when upgraded. - The contact us should be added in with the SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec hook by modifying $tpl->data['footerlinks'][???]. - Wikimedia also seams to display: block; the copyright and if visible lastmod line, the monobook css should be tweaked in some wmf specific place (typically the proper place for this would be a wiki's site-css but in wmf's case this applies to all wmf wikis but no default-mw wikis so some wmf common stylesheet is the proper thing here).
Actually, this is not a regression. It seems that the English Wikipedia have made local overrides to pretty this up a bit, by adding <br> statements. http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farrah_Fawcett?useskin=monobook on 1.17wmf1 behaves the same as the dutch 1.18 it seems. So not a regression, but still ugly, and something that we should probably improve.
