Problem with only the MonoBook skin: If one sets MediaWiki:Disclaimers etc. to "-", eliminating all the bottom clutter words, only the poweredby_mediawiki_88x31.png icon remains... but the two golden horizontal bars surrounding it are unaware of its size and collapse in a most bad looking fashion. Mainly you have hardwired poweredby_mediawiki_88x31.png into Skin.php, with no easy MediaWiki:Variable to replace it if desired... in fact if one wanted a totally text site with no images, at least the obligatory logos, one would have to hack things up and/or cause 404 Not Founds, as you don't provide alternative variable overrides. Or one could (There is no bugzilla "Skins" category to file this under.) chose a different skin, yes. Anyway, the golden bars collapse.
Not going to fix this as the footer is actually meant to have content. If one really wanted to clean all text and remove the logo, the easiest way is to edit the skin.
