 * Those widgets are part of the sidebar that appears on normal content pages. The sidebar does not appear on the main page, the main page has a different layout than normal pages. So it's not possible to get them on the main page. Also, these widgets are not customizable. They're set by Wikia, you can't choose to get new ones or turn off existing ones.
 * The closest you can get is to put a activityfeed tag that will look a lot like the sidebar's Recent Wiki Activity. Something like this will do:


 * To position the activity feed to the right of the page (like the sidebar does) you need to put the above code in between the   tags, and the rest of the page in the   tags, so the wikicode of your main page would look something like this:

 * Hope this helps! —mfaizsyahmi (talk) 05:04, August 17, 2012 (UTC)
