Help:Extension:GlobalUserPage

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

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


 * Create a user page at the central wiki. (In the Wikimedia projects example, on Meta.)
 * If the feature is disabled by default and GlobalPreferences is installed, go to Special:GlobalPreferences and enable the "Use global user page" and "Use this preference on all wikis" checkboxes.
 * If a local user page exists with content which you no longer want to be shown, you'll need to request its deletion. See Help:Deleting a page for details, or contact a local administrator.

Interwiki links
Links will be rendered locally, so you should use portable interwiki links for everything.

Controlling what content is displayed
Just like transcluding a template, you can use the  and   tags to control what content is displayed only locally, or only globally.

You can "opt out" of global user pages by simply wrapping your central user page in  tags.

Caveats

 * Your user page might not look the same on other wikis due to differences in their site CSS.
 * You can use the  parser function to show system messages in the interface language, but the message content will come from the central wiki.
 * Transclusions of special pages or parser functions like  won't update as frequently as they do locally.
