Sync from Git: the featured picture is now a setting (via update-page on MediaWiki MCP Server)

New page

{{documentation|git=true}}

Renders the wiki's main page as one full-bleed sequence of content bands, transcluded as the page's entire content.

== Usage ==

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Mainpage}}
</syntaxhighlight>

The template emits its own [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TemplateStyles TemplateStyles] and the tracking category that loads the enhancement gadget.

== Parameters ==

This template takes no parameters.

<templatedata>
{
"description": "Renders the wiki's main page as one full-bleed sequence of content bands, transcluded as the page's entire content.",
"params": {},
"paramOrder": [],
"format": "inline"
}
</templatedata>

== Behavior ==

The page runs: a hero band, event and patch highlights, the featured article, on this day, an editing invitation, two community cards, and the site directory.

Everything an editor changes is in <code><nowiki>Module:Mainpage/settings.json</nowiki></code>, linked at the foot of the page. It is not tracked in this repository: it is wiki content, so the wiki page is its own source of truth. That page carries its own guidance in a <code><nowiki>_readme</nowiki></code> key; any <code><nowiki>_</nowiki></code>-prefixed key is dropped as guidance, not data.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Section
! Holds
|-
| <code><nowiki>featured</nowiki></code>
| <code><nowiki>page</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>text</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>image</nowiki></code>, the picture named bare as in <code><nowiki>hero</nowiki></code>. With no <code><nowiki>image</nowiki></code> the card shows the placeholder; with no <code><nowiki>page</nowiki></code> it falls back to <code><nowiki>Star Citizen</nowiki></code>, never a self-link.
|-
| <code><nowiki>event</nowiki></code>
| <code><nowiki>name</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>page</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>text</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>starts</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>ends</nowiki></code>, and one of <code><nowiki>banner</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>image</nowiki></code> (see below). Clearing <code><nowiki>name</nowiki></code> removes the card; clearing <code><nowiki>ends</nowiki></code> keeps the card and drops its countdown.
|-
| <code><nowiki>patches</nowiki></code>
| One object per build chip: <code><nowiki>channel</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>name</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>page</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>highlights</nowiki></code>. <code><nowiki>channel: "LIVE"</nowiki></code> marks the current chip; with none marked, the first chip with a <code><nowiki>name</nowiki></code> is used instead.
|-
| <code><nowiki>hero</nowiki></code>
| <code><nowiki>image</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>lede</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>ledeDetail</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>searchTails</nowiki></code>.
|-
| <code><nowiki>chips</nowiki></code>
| Link lists (<code><nowiki>{ "page": …, "label": … }</nowiki></code> on-wiki, <code><nowiki>{ "url": …, "label": … }</nowiki></code> elsewhere; <code><nowiki>label</nowiki></code> optional on a wiki link): the strip under the hero.
|-
| <code><nowiki>directory</nowiki></code>
| Groups of <code><nowiki>{ "label": …, "links": [ … ] }</nowiki></code>, links shaped as in <code><nowiki>chips</nowiki></code>: the foot groups.
|}

The event card's picture chooses its design; set one key, not both, since with both, <code><nowiki>banner</nowiki></code> wins:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Key
! Design
|-
| <code><nowiki>banner</nowiki></code>
| One of the 1080×83 strips in <code><nowiki>Category:Main page banner images</nowiki></code>, shown at the height it was drawn as a centred slice (about a quarter of the strip in the narrowest column). Check its logo survives that crop.
|-
| <code><nowiki>image</nowiki></code>
| An ordinary screenshot: beside the text on a wide card, across the top on a narrow one. A banner strip set here crops to a smear.
|}

Naming the asset picks the layout, so a design can't be paired with an unusable picture; switching is a settings edit, not a module edit.

A malformed value never takes the page down: an unreadable event date costs only the clock, and a moved or deleted settings page costs only what it fed. Dates are read as <code><nowiki>YYYY-MM-DD</nowiki></code>, optionally with a space or <code><nowiki>T</nowiki></code> then <code><nowiki>HH:MM</nowiki></code>/<code><nowiki>HH:MM:SS</nowiki></code>, and a trailing <code><nowiki>UTC</nowiki></code>/<code><nowiki>Z</nowiki></code>; anything else is unset.
