Pasted here for convenience:

Ok, so no different content to different users.

What about the option of clipping content? Is it technically possible to
offer unclipped content to anonymous users, clipped to registered users?

About the clipping itself,
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Collapse_top does clip content
but we would need a nicer implementation. For instance, we could keep
the title (now "Community Collaboration") and a "expand" type of arrow.
Anonymous users would see the full homepage with a "minimize" type of
arrow. Or something along these lines.
