Description:

Currently the region names for footer are:

footer_firstcolumn: 'Footer first column'
  footer_secondcolumn: 'Footer second column'
  footer_thirdcolumn: 'Footer third column'
  footer_fourthcolumn: 'Footer fourth column'
  footer: Footer

It does not make sense to have variants of footer for the first 4 regions and then just plain footer for the last region. Also we should avoid naming regions based on their layout for responsive regions. Also footer needs to fit more in with other region naming conventions where we have used first, second etc.

The names are changed to:

footer_first: 'Footer first'
  footer_second: 'Footer second'
  footer_third: 'Footer third'
  footer_fourth: 'Footer fourth'
  footer_fifth: 'Footer fifth'

The new markup and regions for Bartik's footer are as follows....

<div id="site-footer__wrapper">
  <footer class="site-footer">
    {% if page.footer_first or page.footer_second or page.footer_third or page.footer_fourth %}
      <div class="site-footer__top clearfix">
        {{ page.footer_first }}
        {{ page.footer_second }}
        {{ page.footer_third }}
        {{ page.footer_fourth }}
      </div>
    {% endif %}
    {% if page.footer_fifth %}
      <div id="site-footer__bottom role="contentinfo">
        {{ page.footer_fifth }}
      </div>
    {% endif %}
  </footer>
</div>

The new footer will now look like this:
