The top of the information page (before the first section for "Basic information") comes fromMediaWiki:Pageinfo-header. It is blank by default, but individual wikis can add content here. For example, on English Wikipedia, the header is used to create a table of contents.
The bottom of the information can be customised viaMediaWiki:Pageinfo-footer. It is blank by default but can be set at each wiki. For example, on English Wikipedia, it is used to create an additional section "External tools".
