Help:Main page

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

Step by step



 * If you've just created a new wikia, your main page is populated with a set of default content, including the description, a live feed of the latest activity on your wikia, and a placeholder for a photo.
 * You can change any part of this page by editing it. Simply click "Edit" at the top of the page.
 * We recommend that your main page includes a short intro paragraph that tells your readers what your wikia is about and what people can expect to find there.
 * We also recommend that you include links to the most important articles on your main page. This will help readers find their way to great content quickly.
 * Many wikias find that adding a slider to the Main Page is an attractive way to help users find great content. You can learn more about sliders at Help:Galleries, Slideshows, and Sliders.
 * Be sure to give your main page a clean design. It doesn't need to be fancy — it just needs to look good! The main page column tags that are already set up are the best way to organize the page's layout.

Advanced notes

 * The system message 'MediaWiki:Mainpage' defines the location of the main page - that is, where users end up when clicking the wordmark or visiting your wikia via the basic URL ('name.wikia.com').
 * If you rename your main page via the normal page rename tool, MediaWiki:Mainpage is automatically updated to point to the new location.
