Change the login link in MediaWiki

As usual I have searched the WWW but I obviously don't how to use Google because I couldn't find an answer. My situation is this:

Open your skin file /skins/.php. Look for and change the following lines:
copyraw 
<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
				echo htmlspecialchars($item['text']) ?></a></li>
<?php			} ?>
			</ul>
		</div>
	</div>

  2.          <h5><?php $this->msg('personaltools') ?></h5> 
  3.          <div class="pBody"> 
  4.              <ul> 
  5.  <?php             foreach($this->data['personal_urls'] as $key => $item) { ?> 
  6.                  <li id="<?php echo Sanitizer::escapeId( "pt-$key" ) ?>"<?php 
  7.                      if ($item['active']) { ?> class="active"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php 
  8.                  echo htmlspecialchars($item['href']) ?>"<?php echo $skin->tooltipAndAccesskey('pt-'.$key) ?><?php 
  9.                  if(!empty($item['class'])) { ?> class="<?php 
  10.                  echo htmlspecialchars($item['class']) ?>"<?php } ?>><?php 
  11.                  echo htmlspecialchars($item['text']) ?></a></li> 
  12.  <?php            } ?> 
  13.              </ul> 
  14.          </div> 
  15.      </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.
