The
GlobalUserPage
extension lets you reuse the same user page across multiple wikis in a wikifarm.
Enabling your global user page
In most cases, you don't need to do anything. If a local
user page
is not showing what you desire, you may need one or more of the following steps.
Create your user page on the central wiki. On Wikimedia projects,
your Meta user page
is your global user page.
If you already have a local user page on some wiki with content which you no longer want to be shown, you need to request its deletion. See
Help:Deletion and undeletion
for details, or contact an
administrator
of that wiki. Note that deleting the local user page will mean the user page will no longer appear in search results.
Where content comes from
Your global user page is generated on the central wiki, and the
result
is shown on local wikis. The content you see on the central wiki is what you'll see on other wikis. This means:
transcluding templates will use the central wiki's templates (your global user page won't use local templates);
transcluding special pages like
{{Special:PrefixIndex/User:''My name''/}}
will transclude the data from the central wiki;
the
{{int:}}
parser function
will show system messages from the central wiki;
magic words
like
{{SERVERNAME}}
will show the value from the central wiki.

Wikilinks
are relative, so they'll point to the local wiki.
On Wikimedia projects, use
interwiki links
Disabling your global user page
To disable the global user page, you can use the
__NOGLOBAL__
magic word, which, if present on the central user page, will prevent it from being displayed on remote wikis.
This will also determine whether a link to a user page on remote wiki should be red or blue.
Controlling what content is displayed
Just like transcluding a template, you can use the
‎<
noinclude
and
‎<
includeonly
tags to control what content is only displayed on the central site where the page exists, or globally on all sites.
You can “opt out” of global user pages by simply wrapping your central user page in
‎<
noinclude
tags. If the page is empty or consists only of invisible content like
__NOINDEX__
, it won't be shown on other wikis.
Caveats
Your user page might not look the same on other wikis due to differences in their site CSS. Check your page on a
RTL
wiki
, e.g.,
:ar:
or
:he:
Transclusions of special pages or parser functions like
{{#time}}
won't update as frequently as they do locally.
Help:Page status indicators
on the central wiki user page, e.g., an
ICBM geohack
in
indicator
name
"ICBM"
><
samp
id
"coordinates"
class
"coordinates plainlinks"
samp
>indicator
, will not work on local wikis. Try
noinclude
><
indicator
name
"ICBM"
>noinclude
><
samp
id
"coordinates"
class
"coordinates plainlinks"
style
"float:right"
samp
><
noinclude
>indicator
>noinclude
to get a page status indicator affecting only the user page on the central wiki, i.e.,
Meta-Wiki
for most Wikimedia projects.

Non-content wikitext will be ignored on local wikis. This includes categories, redirects and some
magic words
like
{{DISPLAYTITLE:}}
Attempts to create
interlanguage links
includeonly
[[en:User:Example]]
includeonly
end up as ordinary
User:Example
links.
