I maintain this page for personal quick links.
See Wikipedia FAQ for general questions about Wikipedia; you can ask questions at the Village pump. See talk:Wikipedia category schemes for general discussion of the category scheme on Wikipedia's Main Page.
Please post screenshots of the current Main Page to Main Page/Screenshots to assist in debugging design issues, especially when you notice that it looks different from the screenshots which are there.
Main Page cache purge - click this link whenever a change has been made to any of the MediaWiki pages displayed on the Main Page. This will clear the Main Page's cache (located on the Wikimedia servers) so that non-logged-in users can see the update. This may or may not force your browser's cache to expire. See Wikipedia:Reload to learn how to deal with that.
Subsections of the page have been moved into the MediaWiki namespace to make them editable. See Wikipedia:Editing the main page.
- "Featured article" || "In the news" || "Did you know..." || "Browse Wikipedia by topic"
- "Selected anniversaries ..." (section data is mainly in MediaWiki, but the top-level resides at Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries)
- "Wikipedia in other languages" section || "Sister Projects" section
NOTE: Any bolded item that appears on the Main Page must be updated and listed on its corresponding subject area page before being listed on the Main Page. For example, a news item should first be listed on current events, then the article on the subject of that news item should be updated to reflect a current event. Then that item can be placed on Template:In the news.
See Main Page/Old for the old Main Page design.
