UserDefaultPage

This extension uses PreferencesExtension to add one option to the user preferences under the Misc tab. The "Default main page" allows the user to enter a page title to be used as the default page. Normally, when the wiki url is entered without any specific page entered, the url redirects automatically to Main_Page. By entering a value for this preference, the user will instead be redirected to the given page.
