Web Development MediaWiki Change the login link in MediaWiki

- We have an internal wiki knowledge base using MediaWiki version 1.14.
- Some articles are available for public, some are restricted to staff and different localgroups.
- When users click on the 'Login' link, we want the system to automatically prompt them for their username/password. (Kerberos authenticated, as opposed to NTLM authenticated).
- Note: This article is displaying how to change the link and not how to setup these authentication methods.
Open your skin file /skins/
<div class="portlet" id="p-personal">
<h5><?php $this->msg('personaltools') ?></h5>
<div class="pBody">
<ul>
<?php foreach($this->data['personal_urls'] as $key => $item) { ?>
<li id="<?php echo Sanitizer::escapeId( "pt-$key" ) ?>"<?php
if ($item['active']) { ?> class="active"<?php } ?>><a href="/<?php
echo htmlspecialchars($item['href']) ?>"<?php echo $skin->tooltipAndAccesskey('pt-'.$key) ?><?php
if(!empty($item['class'])) { ?> class="<?php
echo htmlspecialchars($item['class']) ?>"<?php } ?>><?php

} else {
echo '<li id="pt-login"><a href="/wiki/Special:UserLogin?returnto='.trim($_GET['title']).'" title="You are encouraged to log in; however, it is not mandatory [alt-o]" accesskey="o">Log in</a></li>';
} ?>
</ul>

</div>
What does this do?
- Excludes displaying system login, anonymous login or logout links in personal toolbar
- Add a list item linking to your own login page (in this example the default one as ours is Kerberos_Login) with login or logout link.
