=== MoinMoin default footer ===

As you can see below, the default footer for MoinMoin wikis hosted by HCoop contains links/credits for:
 * !MoinMoin Powered
 * Python Powered
 * GPL licensed
 * Valid HTML 4.01

Why not add a credit for HCoop?

I added the following section to my `~/wiki/wikiconfig.py` configuration file
{{{
    # Page Credits ---------------------------------------------
    # Feel free to add other credits, but PLEASE do NOT change or remove
    # the following links - you help us by keeping them "as is":
    page_credits = [
        '<a href="http://moinmo.in/" title="This site uses the MoinMoin Wiki software.">MoinMoin Powered</a>',
        '<a href="http://moinmo.in/Python" title="MoinMoin is written in Python.">Python Powered</a>',

        # Optional credits:
        # if you think it can be maybe misunderstood as applying to content or topic of your wiki,
        # feel free to remove this one:
        '<a href="http://moinmo.in/GPL" title="MoinMoin is GPL licensed.">GPL licensed</a>',

        '<a href="http://www.gandi.net/?lang=en/" title="This domain is registered with gandi.net.">Registered with gandi.net</a>',

        # if you don't need/want to check the html output, feel free to remove this one:
        # '<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer" title="Click here to validate this page.">Valid HTML 4.01</a>',
        ]
}}}

You can see the results in the footers in [[http://wiki.sabmagfaq.org/|SabMagWiki]].

AFAICT, you can change this for everyone in the file `/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/MoinMoin/config/multiconfig.py`. In the `page_credits` variable add:
{{{
'<a href="http://hcoop.net/" title="This wiki is hosted by HCoop.">Hosted by HCoop</a>',
}}}
 /!\ Beware the commas needed at the end of each credit.
