Forum:Help change the wiki overall landing page

Hello,

I am trying to make my wiki so it automatically goes to the Main Page. The reason I would want to do that is because I just strongly dislike the Wiki Activity page. But, I want ALL the wiki members to be automatically sent to this page. I thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sincerely,

 * Hi, you cannot make all wiki members be automatically sent to the home page. This is because this is designed to be a personal customization option in Special:Preferences. You're welcome to change your personal preferences to go to the home page, but you can't change other people's preferences for them.


 * That's correct, only Wikia can change other people's preferences for them. -452 17:56, September 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * I also think that the main landing page of a wiki should be the main page, rather than "Wiki Activity". "Wiki Activity" may be confusing to new users, and are likely to not understand why they are being shown a list of people's edits rather than the main page.  "Wiki Activity" is not for casual users.  It is for people who choose to be editors.  Casual users should be shown the main page, which usually contains many navigation links  Casual users are unlikely to know that they can change the default landing page in their preferences.
 * I would love to see a poll about whether people would rather see Wiki Activity or the Main Page and the default landing page. -452 17:56, September 29, 2012 (UTC)
