I have it on another site and it makes some money by just putting up adsense. It's mainstream though and not ripping another site.

The earlier versions seems simple. Line out or delete it in 1 file, monobook.php. I have latest version using the blue skin and absolutely cannot figure it out. There are all kinds of posts on *how to* but either they don't apply to my skin or I can't understand what they are talking about.

but includes/skin.php and skinTemplate.php are base template classes which you could technically alter also and I guess is more of a hacky way of doing it and would probably have universal effect for any skin you used.

In includes/Skintemplates.php it sets footer links you could probably comment out. Starting on line 360 if you //'viewcount' it will get rid of the view count, or you can comment out credits, etc. I think technically altering that stuff should be done in the skin file but whatever

It doesn't seem that dealing with the skins is something particularly simple to the average user or in general.
Dealing with this version and the skin I chose seems impossible for me to search for the answer. I can't understand why they just couldn't of made a "templates" folder and called one of the files "footer" and that is where you add/delete them. Page history is dynamically created for each page, but, really, does it need to be so difficult?

I tried everything you wrote and it doesn't work for me.

Oh well, this is about Edgeprod and buying a computer, not mediawiki.
