Add main page on non-English privatewiki to wgWhitelistRead
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Currently the wgWhitelistRead is defined to be ['Main Page', 'Special:UserLogin', 'Special:UserLogout'] only for privatewiki, while this prevent the content on their actual main page (in their own language) be shown for non-English sites. sysop_itwiki has their main page added, and I think it's reasonable to add the main page for more non-English private sites to wgWhitelistRead.

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Add main page on non-English privatewiki to wgWhitelistRead

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/850266

Affected sites: arbcom_cswiki, arbcom_dewiki, arbcom_fiwiki, arbcom_nlwiki, arbcom_ruwiki.
I'm hesitant in having this per T34716. And it is necessary to have all these sites noticed.
