Forum:Personalized homepage not loading properly on swfanon

On the Star Wars Fanon Wikia I can't get Special:MyHome to load, instead for some reason it redirects me to the Main Page. How do I change that?--Friedebarth (Talk) 16:41, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * This is because SWFanon has decided to disable MyHome (w:c:swfanon:MediaWiki:Monaco.js). You can, if you want, contact an administrator, and the admin might decide to remove it (if the community accepts it). Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 16:59, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Couldn't I go to User:Friedebarth/Monaco.js and add some code to change that just for myself?--Friedebarth (Talk) 21:06, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

As Administrators, we've discussed this. We refused such a disgusting debasement of basic Wiki principles, and redirected it to the Main Page. We consider Star Wars Fanon a Wiki, not a social networking site - Twitter and Facebook are for that. As the vast majority of users, and all Admins, supported this, we implemented it. Hope that explains it. :) --Thomas Rattim (talk)


 * Actually, that's Tom's view over on SWF. The rest of the administrators don't say things are disgusting debasements of basic wiki principles because we don't go over the top like that. ;-) We disabled it simply because we didn't feel the feature fit on SWF. Unfortunately, it couldn't be directed to your Monaco because it can only be redirected to one place across the wiki. That place is the Main Page. Now, in fact, it seems that it's been disabled entirely on SWF, so there's no redirect to the Main Page, no nothing. It appears to have been completely taken off. In the future, though, if you have a question about just SWF, feel free to ask me, Tom, or any of the other admins and we'll be happy to answer it. If we can't, we'll be sure to point you in the direction of someone who can! =) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:06, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

"Over the top" is very, very relative, and there are a lot of users on SWF, and every Darthipedian, who feel as I do. --Thomas Rattim (talk)


 * Well I have yet to see a single SWF user say anything remotely resembling that, so I think you're exaggerating. ;-) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 18:31, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Thomas, you're speaking to a hardcore Wikipedian here (ask Brandon if you don't believe me), and I say: No, it's not. I agree that it should be optional, and not mandatory everytime you click on a link to the base URL of swfanon. But neither should it be completely disabled. That's my two cents. I'll stay out of this though.--Friedebarth (Talk) 14:10, December 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * It was a community decision to have it disabled, not just Tom's and not just the administrator's. We asked a lot of users about it to make sure it wasn't just a few administrators doing something on their own. =) That said, the hack may be irrelevant soon. Wikia is currently working on some new features for MyHome that they feel may make it integral to the editing experience, so the hack used to disable it may soon be disallowed. Wikia will be keeping us updated on that. =) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:23, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
