There are at least three possible solutions:

  • Edit LocalSettings.php to disable subpages in the main space. [1]
  • Edit Common.css to hide the backlink. [2]
  • Use the "wrongtitle" workaround (e.g. #zdoom).

I personally would have no problem with the first method, although it requires finding Fredrik and asking him to do it.  The second one can be done by any admin (in theory; these control files can be slippery to work with), but I don't think it should occur, because it would impede navigation outside the main space.    Ryan W 22:50, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Would it be possible to use a combination of #2 and a formatting template to hide the backlink on specific pages? Similarly to the way that, for example, the "Main Page" header is left out of Wikipedia:Main Page. --Gez 23:24, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
