User blog comment:Toughpigs/My Home -- new feature launches on Wednesday/@comment-87167-20090923154832

I'd have to agree that Special:MyHome shouldn't be enabled by default. The communities of many many wikis put a lot of time and effort into making their wiki's main page the focal/starting off point for users, especially new users, who navigate to their wiki. Having users automatically redirected, without them evening knowing, to their "MyHome" page can and probably will cause a lot confusion. I understand that people will probably make the argument of "They can just click the wiki's logo to go to the main page", but I'd have to respond with that that's not the point here. The main page of any wiki should always be the starting off point, or root, of any wiki unless a user has specifically changed it in their own preferences because they no longer need the main page by default &mdash; at that point, it is completely their decision and one that might be made more by seasoned editors at a wiki, as opposed to new ones who actually go to a wiki to read content and navigate the site, as opposed to immediately navigating their own cluster of user-content-pages on any given site. Just my two cents on the "MyHome" subject.
