Summary: How to rename the group's starting page, i.e., be different than the default "HomePage".

Question answered by this recipe

How can the group's starting page be renamed? (Be different than the default "HomePage"?)

Description

Add the following in local/config.php:

    $DefaultName = 'OtherPage';

and adjust OtherPage accordingly.

For example, on a wiki in French language, you could set in config.php:

  $DefaultGroup = "Accueil";
  $DefaultName  = "Accueil";
  $DefaultPage  = "Accueil.Accueil";

See the documentation for $DefaultGroup, $DefaultName and $DefaultPage.

Twylite, 2009/09/12: If you set $DefaultName = 'Home' and then create a link to a group that doesn't exist yet (for example [[NewGroup/]]) you will be taken to NewGroup.NewGroup?action=edit rather than the expected NewGroup.Home?action=edit.

To solve this you must change $PagePathFmt in config.php:

  $PagePathFmt = array('{$Group}.$1','$1.{$DefaultName}','$1.$1');
