# Setting up the footer
The footer of your project documentation is a great place to add links to
websites or platforms you or your company are using as additional marketing
channels, e.g. :fontawesome-brands-medium:{ style="color: #00AB6C" },
:fontawesome-brands-twitter:{ style="color: #1DA1F2" } or
:fontawesome-brands-facebook:{ style="color: #4267B2" }, which can be
configured via `mkdocs.yml`.
## Configuration

footer of your project documentation. Add a list of social links in `mkdocs.yml`
with:
``` yaml
extra:
social:
- icon: fontawesome/brands/twitter

```
For each entry, the following settings are available:
`icon`{ #icon }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: _none_ · :octicons-alert-24: Required
This field must point to a valid icon path referencing [any icon bundled

### Generator notice
:octicons-hash-24: Setting ·
:octicons-milestone-24: Default: `true` ·
[:octicons-tag-24: 7.3.0][Generator notice support]
The footer displays a _Made with Material for MkDocs_ notice to denote how
the site was generated. The notice can be removed with the following setting
via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
extra:
generator: false
```
!!! info "Please read this before removing the generator notice"
The subtle __Made with Material for MkDocs__ hint in the footer is one of
the reasons why this project is so popular, as it tells the user how the
site is generated, helping new users to discover this project. Before
removing it, please consider that you're enjoying the benefits of
@squidfunk's work for free, as this project is Open Source and has a
permissive license. Thousands of hours went into this project, most of them
without any financial return. Thus, if you remove this notice, please
consider [sponsoring][4] the project. __Thank you__
