In response to Tim's email: Re: How to change "Main Page" displayed on
home page? (Tim Ware)
I prefer to not change Monobook.js in case people want to use a different
skin. So, I go to [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] to edit the left sidebar
navigation.
For example, make sure to have two pages for your Main Page link on the
left sidebar (first one is the URL, second is the display text):
mainpage|mainpage-text
Then make sure [[MediaWiki:Mainpage]] is the URL to the home page, e.g.,
Main Page AND [[MediaWiki:Mainpage-text]] is what you want to appear on
your Main Page -- e.g., Welcome to My Wiki!

Hi,
I've noticed that only the title of my pages appears in the keyword
metadat of my pages. Is there some place to enable the addkeywords
function with category links ?
I'm running :
# MediaWiki: 1.8.2
# PHP: 5.2.0 (cgi)
# MySQL: 4.0.27
# Extensions:
* Special pages:
o NewestPagesBlog
* Parser hooks:
o CharInsert,
o DynamicPageList2 (version 0.7.7),
o ParserFunctions by Tim Starling
o Semantic MediaWiki (version 0.5),
I've noticed that the same thing happens on
meta.wikimedia.org (running
1.9 alpha): the title is displayed in the metatags keywords list.
Maybe an extension breaks this feature.
Thanks for any advice.
Fran?ois

On
meta.wikimedia.org, it is thus only on category pages. Excuse for
misdirecting.

Have a look at include/Defaultsetting.php
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Defaultsettings.php, specially
$wgGroupPermissions
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgGroupPermissions. Copy it in
your localsetting.php
At the end you'll have something like this:
$wgGroupPermissions ['*'] ['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions ['user'] ['edit'] = true;

Hello,
could please someone remind me how we can change the page
that gets displayed after visitors click the wiki logo
in the top-left corner of pages?
The default target is Main Page. We'd like to specify our overall
homepage instead.
We have just switched from Classic skin to MonoBook as our default.
I used to know how to achieve what I need to do now:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2006-August/014136.html
but I can't remember right now what I seemed to know back on 6 August
2006.
Searching via MediaWiki FAQ or Google brought no results.
Thank you very much for your help.

Yours,
Alex.

Just change this page in your wiki:
MediaWiki:Mainpage
[[MediaWiki:Mainpage]]
If I go to:
MediaWiki:Mainpage
and click "edit", I just see
Main Page
If I change that text, then the system wants to look for a page with
the next text as the main page.
Please remember, I don't want to change the URL of the main page,
just the displayed text "Main Page".

How about inserting a REDIRECT leading to the page with the desired title?

Another option is to disable the display of the "Main Page" header on
the Main Page only. That should allow you to place any other heading on
the page that you like, without actually changing the name of the page.
To do this, edit the page MediaWiki:Monobook.js and add the following
text:
if (isMainPage && !isDiff)
{
document.write('<style type="text/css">/*<![CDATA[*/ #lastmod,
#siteSub,
#contentSub, h1.firstHeading { display: none !important; }
/*]]>*/</style>'); }

Thanks. This is probably the correct approach. But how do we escape
the curly brackets? After I edited Monobook.js to include this code
and the loaded the home page and did a "view source", it showed that
the script's document.write ends after the ending curly bracket on
the style.
