The '''main page''' (usually default stylised '''Main page''') of a wiki site is the first page (or 'front page') that [[user]]s see when they visit the main URL of a {{tag|wiki}} site. Typically (though not always), it can contain items such as a [[featured article]], an [[in the news]] list, a [[did you know?]] (DYK?) list, an [[on this day]] list, and a [[featured image]]. It also usually contains some basic, fundamental information about the [[wiki]] itself, such as its primary [[:Category:Wiki Topic|topic]] or aims.

Some wiki sites will change the default 'Main page' name into something different. In the case of this [[WikiIndex]] wiki site, we personalise our main page and call it [[Welcome]]. Other wiki sites, especially on commercial hosts such as [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] will rename the main page to the actual title of the individual wiki site, supposedly in the hope of increasing rankings in search engines. | Some wiki sites will change the default 'Main page' name into something different.
