I mean, why isn't it

array('text' => 'mainpage', 'href' => 'mainpage-url'),

on $wgNavigationLinks?

I'm asking because I'm doing a dynamic Main Page as a Special:MyProject module.

- If I set MediaWiki:Mainpage to 'Special:MyProject', the Navigation menu entry changes to 'Special:MyProject', which I don't want (I still want the Main Page to show as "Main Page" on the Navigation menu).

- If I modify $wgNavigationLinks to have

array('text' => 'mainpage', 'href' => 'mainpage-url'),

and set MediaWiki:Mainpage-url to 'Special:MyProject', clicking on the Navigation entry brings my Special page, but navigating to http://mylocalhost/wiki brings me back to http://mylocalhost/wiki/Main_Page (as the software has no way to know that my new main page is to be taken from MediaWiki:Mainpage-url)

- Finally, if I do

#REDIRECT [[Special:MyProject]]

on Main_Page, it all works as expected, but the browser's navigation bar shows http://mylocalhost/wiki/Special:MyProject (which is correct but ugly).

So, it'd be nicer if MediaWiki used a MediaWiki:Mainpage for the navigation menu entry title, and a MediaWiki:Mainpage-url for the page, and the software knew that the default page comes from MediaWiki:Mainpage-url.

Or, is there a way to do that already that I'm missing? (as I suspect :)
