I added this to the bottom. See Monetizing MediaWiki – Hacking a Skin

Get the social bookmarking icons ∞

Just take them from the bottom of this site and put them on yours.

Prepare your list of links ∞

/your_website/skins/your_directory/social_bookmarking.php

<?php
function curPageURL() {
 $pageURL = 'http';
 if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
 $pageURL .= "://";
 if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
 } else {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
 }
 return $pageURL;
}

function social_bookmarking_name() {
  // ---- CUSTOMIZE THIS ----
  // If anyone knows how to return the actual page title, please let me know!
  return 'example.com';
}

function social_bookmarking_images() {
  // ---- CUSTOMIZE THIS ----
  return '/skins/my-custom/social_bookmarking_icons/';

Place the block in your skin ∞

Search for this:

<?php   }

                // Generate additional footer links
?>

And place this code underneath

<?php require("my-custom/social_bookmarking.php"); ?>

Be warned, your MonoBook.php will be overwritten when you update MediaWiki, so back up this file. Or better yet, re-apply your changes in case they made legit updates to the skin.
