Change Details

Only very rarely used. Easily migrated in favour of: * `wgIsMainPage`: Instead of using `wgMainPageTitle` to compare with wgTitle or wgPagename. * `wgScript` or `title=`: For creating an anchor link that will end up on the main page. * A data module export (for when really the actual main page is needed). The latter is true for 1 use (the ContentTranslation extension). Originally added in 2009 with cf75bdf4ba ([r54384](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/r54384)) and moved to the startup module in 2010 with a99f9ec28b9aa9d ([r72772](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/r72772)).

Only very rarely used. Easily migrated in favour of: ##### Detect main page Instead of using wgMainPageTitle to compare with wgTitle or wgPagename, use `wgIsMainPage` instead. ##### Linking to the main page For creating an anchor link that will end up on the main page, use `wgScript`, or `title=`. It will always resolve to the main page by default. ##### Getting the main page configuration value When the configuration value from the current site is really needed. It can be retrieved in one of two ways: * For gadgets, use the Siteinfo API. * For extensions, use `Title::newMainPage()` and bundle its return value with the module that needs it.
