Help:Main page

The Main Page on any wiki is the page that can be accessed by clicking the wiki's logo. The Main Page is like the welcome mat of a wiki. It is the primary landing page for your readers. Keep in mind that first impressions count!

To define your main page address, you can use MediaWiki:Mainpage. This will allow you to define your software.

First impression matters
Many wikis eventually end up failing because they publicly show off all the administrators and who's in charge. This ends up shooing away editors because it makes them feel bad about contributing. If you really want to put the administration section, here are a few tips: These really boost your wiki's SEO, so everyone can see your hard work!
 * 1) Putting your administration list on the top of the Main Page is the same as filling the whole page with user right power showoff, unless it is on the navigation toolbar.
 * 2) Make your administration and community area at the bottom of the page. The content guides, links, and indices that viewers need should be on the top.
 * 3) Make your administration area at least small, if not at all. Wikipedia does not put "Hey guys say hi to Jimmy Wales he made Wikipedia!" at the bottom of the main page, if not every single page's footer.
