Customizable footer area

Many websites have a large footer area, often in a darker colour with a set of links: about, contact, privacy policy, and so forth.
I managed to add this to a fork of wiki JS pretty easily. The footer override field in admin was modified to be a text area instead of a text field, for larger multi line input. Rendering was changed to render it as markdown, with auto-link disabled, and raw HTML enabled. This, along with a couple small CSS tweaks allowed creation of a large footer area with various links.
Other than not knowing the size limit for that field in the database, it is working well. So at this point, it would really just be a product management decision on whether to add this to wiki JS in a future release.

What I've done is just add links in the static navigation menu to the Privacy Policy, Contact Us, and so on.

Certainly an option, but the footer area is always there, even on small screens such as mobile.

Craig R That's a good point. I tend to forget about the mobile user space sometimes.

Something that just occurred to me is that this footer area would need to be different for different locales.

Actually, Wiki.js is used internally in companies, so why should I have contact details below?

Felix Rückert: Just because you don't, doesn't mean everybody else use it the same way. Wiki.js is used externally extensively as well.
