How to Add ContactUs (mailto) to Footer

Greetings,
I'd like to add "Contact Us" to the footer. When a user click "Contact Us", it will open a email client and mailto feedback [at] mycompany

I have tried add 'ContactUs' to the line of "$footerlinks" in ./skins/MonoBook.php, and created a page called MediaWiki:ContactUs in which the content is only a line of [mailto: feedback [at] mycompany Contact Us]. But I couldn't see "Contact Us", or "ContactUs" at the footer at all.

Any idea would be appreciated,
Ross

Try changing Mediawiki:aboutsite to "Contact Us" and Mediawiki:aboutpage
to mailto:feedback [at] mycompany

Thank you Platonides, but it doesn't work as I expected.

When I click "Contact Us", I am redirected to the Mediawiki:aboutpage PAGE which has the mailto:feedback [at] mycompany link in the page. So, I have to click the mailto link to again get a mail client open.
What I want is that clicking the "Contact Us" would directly open the mailto link.

Is it possible?
Thanks again,
Ross
