Help:Extension:GlobalUserPage/mni

The extension lets you reuse the same user page across multiple wikis in a wikifarm.

In most cases, you don't need to do anything. If a local is not showing what you desire, you may need one or more of the following steps.


 * Create your user page on the central wiki. On Wikimedia projects, your Meta user page is your global user page.
 * If the feature is disabled by default and is installed, go to Special:GlobalPreferences and enable the “Use global user page” and “Use this preference on all wikis” checkboxes.

Note that deleting the local user page will mean the user page will no longer appear in search results.
 * If you already have a local user page on some wiki with content which you no longer want to be shown, you need to request its deletion. See for details, or contact an administrator of that wiki.

Your global user page is generated on the central wiki, and the result is shown on local wikis. The content you see on the central wiki is what you'll see on other wikis. This means:


 * transcluding templates will use the central wiki's templates (your global user page won't use local templates);
 * transcluding special pages like  will transclude the data from the central wiki;
 * the  parser function will show system messages from the central wiki;
 * magic words like  will show the value from the central wiki.

Wikilinks are relative, so they'll point to the local wiki.

To disable the global user page, you can use the  magic word, which, if present on the central user page, will prevent it from being displayed on remote wikis. This will also determine whether a link to a user page on remote wiki should be red or blue.

Just like transcluding a template, you can use the and  tags to control what content is only displayed on the central site where the page exist, or globally on all sites.

You can “opt out” of global user pages by simply wrapping your central user page in tags. If the page is empty or consists only of invisible content like, it won't be shown on other wikis.

Caveats
Check your page on a Right To Left wiki, e.g., ar: or he:. Try  to get a page status indicator affecting only the user page on the central wiki, i.e., Meta-Wiki for most Wikimedia projects.
 * Your user page might not look the same on other wikis due to differences in their site CSS.
 * Transclusions of special pages or parser functions like  won't update as frequently as they do locally.
 * on the central wiki user page, e.g., an ICBM geohack in, will not work on local wikis.

This includes categories, redirects and some magic words like  and.
 * Non-content wikitext will be ignored on local wikis.
 * Attempts to create interlanguage links  end up as ordinary User:Example links.
