           Summary: A Main Page should have a different tab message
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: User interface
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

At the moment, a Main Page in MediaWiki uses the common namespace tab, i.e.
"nstab-main" if it's in the main namespace or "nstab-project" if in project
namespace. However, the text of it ("page", "article", "project page") is not
really correct and should IMO always be replaced with a localization of "Main
page". Quite many wikis have already done this, but often in bad ways, for
example via JavaScript, which is bad for accessibility and performance or via
parser functions in the MediaWiki message, which is bad for caching.

Thus, I believe it would be best if the MediaWiki software would provide a
different namespace tab for the Main Page by default, for example named
"nstab-mainpage".
