"contact at least the BSM wikis" - but you are affecting far more than BSM wikis. So basically you don't care if other kodansha magazines use it. As you don't plan to inform all the Weekly Shonen Magazine, Afternoon, Young Magazine, etc wikis. So basically you want to edit only BSM footer, but instead you create a new one, instead of updating it >.> Sure, BSM wikis are mostly dead, so they won't care. But with that mentality, they won't care if you promote them or not... since they are already dead? And if you don't inform all kodansha wikis, what "links from many other wikis"? And again, you are creating an unified Kodansha footer, that would suggest would replace not only BSM footer, but all kodansha footers (WSM, YM, Afternoon, etc).

It doesn't need to promote the rest of the magazines. Each footer promotes each magazine. Otherwise someone after you will create "Manga footer" that will promote all manga wikis.

I see, I do hope you notify the affected wikis when you break the affiliation, so they can remove your wordmark too.

"so if this template isn't used they'll simply will go away and won't be promoted by us anywhere" - But that's your own problem... So basically you mix all so that you have a link that is not from BSM... You can't really replace a interwiki footer, so it fits you.

"it doesn't fit in our design" again your problem, your decision to change. Again you can't go changing things that affect others to fit you... That is why each wikis is free to choose whatever to add it or not.

You can create a custom version of the current footer, like Ao no Exorcist wiki uses https://community.wikia.com/wiki/Template:JumpSquareWikis/black-background correcting it for blackbackground wikis.

But really, seeing your reasons, I'm almost speechless... I would then suggest you, instead of trying to replace WSM, BSM, YM, Afternoon, etc footers, to create a custom footer just for your wikis and your kodansha affiliates (you plan to break with). And use it on your wiki and suggest it to other BSM wikis or those you break affiliation with. In a way that is your basic idea, but instead of creating a customized version, you create and try to push for selfish reasons a unified template.
