As already discussed some time ago in #-wiki: The page footer is too large, to the point that it impedes the work flow. For example, when editing a page, after going to the end of the page (by pressing the "End" key), elements like the summary line or the "save page" button are no longer visible.

So, can we have a more moderately sized footer, please?
- Certainly there is no need to have the license information there three
  times. Currently CC-BY-SA is mentioned twice in the footer's text, and
  once more in the cc-by-sa.png icon.
- The "More Gentoo Websites" list needs a lot of vertical space.
- Finally, Znurt and the Black Thing are friends and shouldn't be separated
  by such a large distance. :) It is supposed to look like this:

Should be fixed now.

Don't ask what we can resize for you, ask what larger screen you can buy for us. ;)

Right. I guess we can live without any icons at all.

On your screen size that's indeed a bit much.
