In fact, to be real specific, the PHP language for the footer says:
[edit] Footer
[iterative]
<div id="footer">
<?php
if($this->data['poweredbyico']) { ?>
<div id="f-poweredbyico"><?php
$this->html('poweredbyico') ?></div>
<?php }
if($this->data['copyrightico']) { ?>
<div id="f-copyrightico"><?php
$this->html('copyrightico') ?></div>
<?php }
// generate additional footer links
?>
<ul id="f-list">
<?php
$footerlinks = array(
'lastmod', 'viewcount',
'numberofwatchingusers',
'credits', 'copyright',
'privacy', 'about', 'disclaimer',
'tagline',
);
foreach( $footerlinks as $aLink ) {
if( isset( $this->data[$aLink] ) &&
$this->data[$aLink] ) {
?> <li id="<?php echo$aLink?>"><?php
$this->html($aLink) ?></li>
<?php }
}
?>
</ul>
</div>
Now it appears an array named $footerlinks is created, then an iterative
For/next loop is created which cycles through each array element. When
it displays them, something in that loop is forcing the Title case
instead of allowing all Capital letters. Can anyone tell me what must be
changed to fix it?

I tried to upload an HTML email, but the server does not allow it. The
"footer" problem I am having has to do, apparently, with "skinning".
The
manual stored here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning#Footer
says:
Note: The term FooBar will be used as a placeholder for the
newly-created skin's name. (Notice the use of the uppercase FooBar and
the lowercase foobar in different contexts.)
However, I am looking for true uppercase FOOBAR and it isn't available.
What is forcing the Title Case of FooBar and how do I change it in the
skin so I can get FOOBAR? Specifically, the data in the field "About" is
what I am trying to change. By default, I am getting:
About Nato
When what I want is:
About NATO

Hi!
2008/10/21 DESLIPPE, MICHAEL CIV DCMA CIV DFAS
<MICHAEL.DESLIPPE(a)dfas.mil>il>:
User question, how do I go about linking to individual
items in a
glossary page? It appears I can only link to Header items, but I want
to
link to individual terms. Right now the page is set up
as ==ABC==,
===DEF==, etc.. I want to be able to create a link that goes directly
to
the word in question and not an alphabetic section
where the user has
to
search for the word. Is that possible?
You can add anchors manually using HTML (unless that is forbidden in
the configuration of your wiki, of course), e.g.
<span id="loremlinkid">'''Lorem'''</span>
ipsum dolor...
You can link to those identically to linking to headers, e.g.
[[#loremlinkid]], headers are special only in that they add those
anchors automatically.
You might want to wrap this syntax into a template, cf.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Ref and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Note
Tech Question: The footers at the bottom of Wiki pages
seem to force a
case structure that is sentence style (first letter capitalized,
balance
of the word lower case). When an acronym is in there
like, USA, CNN,
NBC
it capitalizes the first letter and forces the rest to
,lower case. Is
there a way to force a word to remain in upper case?
Could you elaborate a bit? I have no idea what "footers at the bottom
of Wiki pages" are you referring to.
