Hi,
the discusion about changing the navigation menu on the left was very helpfull to me - I looked during several weeks for a solution how to change "Wikimedia-Portal" into "Wiki Forum".
Thanks to your hints, I managed to change the link - but still there are some related things I do not understand.
I changed the values for "Portal" to "Forum" and "Portal-URL" to "n...: Forum".
When I go back to the mainpage, the link changes from "Wiki Forum" back to "Wikimedia-Portal". When I click on the link, it nevertheless takes me to the Wiki:Forum, and the Link is changing to "Wiki Forum". The same story repeating ad infinitum, is to say: the link oscilates between "Portal" and "Forum".
What is wrong with this solution?
Thanks for your attention!
Markus

Did you clear your browser cache after making the change?

I had the EXACT same problem Markus described - specifically, the link on the Main Page never changed to reflect the changes I made (it showed up correctly on other pages), even though I cleared my cache and all. After a few hours however it did start working on the main page too. So I'm not sure if it was a local cache problem or not (especially since I used two different computers to test).
My suggestion Markus would be to try clearing the cache again, visiting with a different browser etc. and waiting for a bit. At least that's what it did for me :)
