I've installed mediawiki 1.22.5 and I've tried to change the main page through the Mediawiki:Mainpage url to another page but It doesn't seem to work!
What I do is edit the http://www.mysite.com/en/index.php?title=MediaWiki:MainPage and write in the text window the name of the page I want as the main page (I've even copied/pasted it to make sure it is written correctly!). However when I click on the logo it takes me to the default main page, not the one I wrote in Mediawiki:Mainpage.
I can change the main page link in the side-bar but the problem with the logo remains.
And I don't want to create just a redirect as it is not elegant on the main page.
Any help is appreciated!
MediaWiki:MainPage should change also the target of the logo link. If it doesn't, my first guess would be extensive caching.
Is your wiki public? Can you provide us with an url?

I have setup my own Madiawiki for a project. I would like to change the main page but the only thing the Mediawiki FAQ say is:
“By default, MediaWiki looks for a page with the title Main Page and serves this as the default page. This can be changed by altering the contents of MediaWiki:Mainpage to point to a different title. If this does not change the 'Main Page' link included on the sidebar at install time, edit MediaWiki:Sidebar.”
The problem is I do not know where to edit this “MediaWiki:Mainpage”. Where do I find this line to edit it? Also if I make a page with the name “x”, and I want it to be the main page do I then change “MediaWiki:Mainpage” to “MediaWiki:x”?
In the search bar, type MediaWiki:Mainpage. Then edit it so its content is the name of the page you want to be the main page. MediaWiki:Mainpage should always contain the title, because it is a system message that is reserved for the title of the main page, so don't change it to MediaWiki:x.
See also: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Main_Page for changing the main page and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces#MediaWiki for the MediaWiki namespace and system messages.
I have the following problem with one of my current projects.
I would like to achieve that when you click on a link which is on a secondarly page, it sends you to the home page but, not at the top of the homepage (by default), I would like that it sends you where a specific ID is.
At the moment I have the following URL in this special link but it doesn't work
link
I have tried different ways I saw in this community but I didn't have luck. At the moment when you click it send you to the homepage but at the top and my ID is almost at the end of the page
How can I fix it please?
Thanks
Kindly use below code on page load. make sure you call this once DOM is loaded. This will scroll the page to this anchor.
location.hash = "#contact-anchor";
I am building a general website that also has a documentation page. For the docs page I'm using mkdocs. I would like a link in the docs page, ideally in the top right corner, that goes back to my main webpage. I know how to put links inside the docs, but I'd like this to appear like a header. Is there a way to do this?
No, this is not possible at this time. However, this is the subject of issue #989 and may be added in the future.
I created my first website uploading the first two pages including the first and main page and then a second page that the first page links to. Before doing so, a link that when clicked on, takes me correctly from my main page to a second page worked. After uploading it on 000webhost.com it no longer worked. Meaning, I can view my main page but when I click on the link that should take me to my second page, it doesn't do anything. Here is the code that was and is still included in my main page for the link that should take me to my second page. I have a feeling that it has something to do with the protocol and that I have to make changes to it but not sure what changes to correctly make so the link will work. I used a sub domain at 000webhost.com not my own. Here is the code that was and is on my main page:
<li>Noah's First Day</li>
The link points to a file on your computer (note the file:// prefix). The best practice is usually to have links to your own pages in relative form. So, for example, assuming you uploaded all the files to the same directory, just use the filename itself:
<li>Noah's First Day</li>
Im using wordpress.com to host my blog. When you click on the site image, it takes you back to the blog home page and not the homepage the belongs to my site.
I know how to change this with an installed wordpress through the editor menu.
However, I dont have any of these option on wordpress.com, however, I have full access to mutate stuff through css.
Is there a way to force CSS to make the changes for me.
Site
However, I want it to read
Site
Just to recap, I dont have an option to change this through the editor. My only option of changing this is through CSS.
I was thinking to use something like this to replace the text inside the herf. But I cant even get it to work with the example text.
Thanks a million.
No - CSS is a read-only way to style page content, not change the content itself (which that tag is a part of).
