The PersonalisedHomepage extension allows users to personalise the home page by creating a new page in their user space that will be used instead.
Usage
editCreate a sub-page of your user page which has the same name as the main page of your wiki. By default this is Main Page
, but this is configurable on a per-wiki basis so it may differ in your case. You can find the correct name by checking the contents of MediaWiki:Mainpage for the wiki in question. "Main Page
" should be replaced by the appropriate value for your wiki throughout the remainder of these instructions.
If your username was "Sir Dennis
" you would therefore create your personalised home page at "User:Sir Dennis/Main Page
". You can edit the page to contain whatever you want. If you want to include the contents of the non-customised main page then add {{:Main Page}}
at the point you want it to appear.

PersonalisedHomepage
in yourextensions/
folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
require_once "$IP/extensions/PersonalisedHomepage/PersonalisedHomepage.php";
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
