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 :)
