I noticed that if I modify weewx.conf with [[[Extras]]], nothing happens in the skin. If I modify skin.conf, then it works (footer_copyright_text for example). Is this normal?

skin = Belchertown
[[[Units]]]
[[[[Groups]]]]
group_altitude = meter
group_speed2 = meter_per_second2
group_pressure = mbar
group_rain = mm
group_rainrate = mm_per_hour
group_temperature = degree_C
group_degree_day = degree_C_day
group_speed = meter_per_second
[[neowx]]
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx/neowx
skin = neowx
[[Highcharts_Belchertown]]
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx/belchertown
skin = Highcharts_Belchertown
[[Belchertown]]
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx/belchertown
skin = Belchertown
[[[Extras]]]
footer_copyright_text = "Test Copyright"

I had to put extras at the same level as Units. The github readme is confusing (or maybe I'm just too dumb)

skin = Belchertown
[[[Units]]]
[[[[Groups]]]]
group_altitude = meter
group_speed2 = meter_per_second2
group_pressure = mbar
group_rain = mm
group_rainrate = mm_per_hour
group_temperature = degree_C
group_degree_day = degree_C_day
group_speed = meter_per_second
[[[Extras]]]
footer_copyright_text = "Main Copyright"
[[neowx]]
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx/neowx
skin = neowx
[[Highcharts_Belchertown]]
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx/belchertown
skin = Highcharts_Belchertown
[[Belchertown]]
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx/belchertown
skin = Belchertown

I put my [[[Extras]]] stanza under [[Belchertown]] in weewx.conf and it's working in my implementation.

when you edit weewx.conf you need to stop and restart weewx for the change to take effect whilst if you edit the skin.conf the change will take effect on the next report cycle.  could this be why it seems to work / not work??
