Help:Extension:GlobalUserPage

The GlobalUserPage extension enables you to re-use the same userpage, across multiple wikis in a wikifarm.

Usage

 * 1) Create a userpage at the central wiki. (E.g. at  wiki, for Wikimedia Foundation wikis)
 * 2) Enable the feature in your Preferences, by either:
 * 3) If Extension:GlobalPreferences is installed, go to the central wiki's Special:GlobalPreferences page, and enable the "Use global user page" and "Use this preference on all wikis" checkboxes.
 * 4) If not, go to each wiki's Special:Preferences, and enable the "Use global user page" checkbox.

Cache
The extension has a built in cache feature, so changes to your global userpage will not be seen instantly at all wikis. The default is 1 week. There is currently no way to purge the cache.

Translated versions
To use a translation of your userpage at the appropriate language versions, you can use Extension:Translate, which will create userpage subpages for each language code. That language version will be sent to the appropriate wikis, instead of the main userpage.

E.g.  at the central wiki, will be used as the userpage at any French language wikis.

To replace an existing local page
If you wish to replace an existing local page with the global page, you will need to request the deletion of the local page. See Help:Deleting a page for details, or contact a local administrator.

Interwiki links
Links will be rendered locally, so you should use interwiki links for everything. E.g. always use  to link to anything on meta wiki; always use   to link to anything on English Wikipedia; always use   to link to anything on German Wikiquote.
