Thread:Project:Support desk/How to Customize the Main Page to show latest 5 pages added?/reply (3)

Its kind of difficult to just show the title, without resorting to ugly JS hacks. You can fairly easily not show the edit summary and user info, using CSS though. (That's something that maybe should be improved with special:newpages).

Another approach is to use an extension. extension:DynamicPageList (Wikimedia) can be used to display a simple list of new articles for example.
