How do I add 'Licenses' to my Sidebar?

I know how to add menu items to my Media-wiki sidebar. 'Licenses' seems to be special. When I add 'Licenses' the menu item is missing. When I add License the text is renamed to 'Licensing:'.

Is there a workaround? Any ideas how I can get this to work.

Apparently both Licenses and License are special (cf. the wiki pages MediaWiki:License and MediaWiki:Licenses on your own wiki - I linked to those on en.wikipedia for examples)

you can define your own with for example

** license-url | license-title

and then edit the wiki pages MediaWiki:license-url and MediaWiki:license-title
