Or to tab the new options in the template in a more fluid manner than the current way some wikis use - but to be fair, I'm not sure whether that's compatible with the horrible mobile skin. There's some footers that are of limited usefulness like the Funi one - that company licenses a lot of animes and its a little indiscriminate. Arguably, only anime-first wikis (like the meteoric Charlote) need an animation studio footer - even those are of limited usefulness. I'd also argue that the strongest clearly defined topical similarity between two mangas is probably magazine (if not genre, but the hard work of this wiki also makes that redundant).

The specific reason for the footer is that affiliating the normal way is impossible in most cases and the footer is the best way to leverage this expansion.
