Thread:Project:Support desk/main page have a category?/reply (3)

Well, if you want your main page to actually be a category page, you can create that category page (for example, ) and edit MediaWiki:Mainpage on your wiki, putting   there.

But usually the main page is a normal page where you manually link the most important pages or categories of the wiki, or even use extensions to add content dynamically like Extension:CategoryTree or Extension:DynamicPageList.
