Forum:Moving the 'Main Page' to improve how a wiki looks in search engine results

A while ago, I was hunting around for tutorials on wiki editing and happened across a random page that said that renaming your wiki's Main Page to the name of your wiki could actually improve the way your wiki looks in search engine results.

What this means is that when I do a Google search for "spelljammer wiki", my page shows up like this:
 * "Main Page - Spelljammer Wiki - a Wikia wiki"

However, by making the change, I could make it show up like this:
 * "Spelljammer Wiki - Spelljammer Wiki - a Wikia wiki"

I would quite like to do that, but the person who suggested it warned that if you move your "Main Page", you also need to adjust some sort of internal wiki value that normally points incoming requests to the Main Page. So I would like to look this up, before I try to tinker with anything.

Sadly I can't remember where I first saw this advice and I can't seem to find this in the Wikia help pages.

Does anyone know where I can find the instructions to do this? David Shepheard 04:18, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


 * It's written in the second section of Help:Main page on Wikia Help. However, I can quickly make some changes for you :) 14:31, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Tweaks made! You may also be interested in some of the code from the main page of the starter wiki for your own main page. 14:39, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot Kirkburn. Just pointing me in the right direction would have been enough, but actually tweaking this was very kind of you. I will check out that starter wiki, to see what sort of stuff I can use as inspiration.David Shepheard 21:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
