 : See sv:Portal:Huvudsida. It makes more sense to me than the Wikipedia name space; the main page is like the main portal. //   
 ::Do you think i should put up a seperate WP:RM to propose to move this to Portal:Main page or Portal:Wikipedia, or not really?   
 :::In general, I would say yes, but judging from the oppose comments above, I would say that too many people are resistant to any change at all. —   
 ::::By the looks of it, a few oppose votes agree on that this a portal.   

 :::::How about inserting  or do you think this would be a bad idea?   

 *Another possible name with I thought could be a good substitute - Portal:Wikipedia instead of the other suggestions. Currently Portal:Wikipedia redirects to Wikipedia:Community Portal. Portal:Wikipedia is a good alternative, IMHO, because it releaves the name ""Main Page"" (which is kinda redundant) and kinda says that to portal is the (main) Wikipedia one. One more - Portal:Wikipedia Home which is the same idea.|@  

 Considering Current events is at a Portal, this suggestion makes sense.  |  

 :I don't know who has done that and how, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Main_page seems to be a perfect alias already. Checked it with http://web-sniffer.net/. Seems not even to be a http redirect. So, whoever wants the main page at Portal:Main page: just use it -).   
 ::http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Main_page works too. Does that mean the main page is effectively in 3 namespaces ;) anion   

 :::Seems we already have: 
 :::*main page and Main page 
 :::*main Page and Main Page 
 :::*Portal:Main page and Portal:Main Page 
 :::*Wikipedia:Main page and Wikipedia:Main Page 
 :::  

 :::It looks like the ""main name"" (hehe -) of the main page is defined by MediaWiki:mainpage. So that name is used if I click on any of the edit tabs on one of the listed ""pages"" (that is, I currently always get http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action;=edit when clicking on the edit tab on any of them). So it seems all we are talking about here is: ""What do we want to have in the address bar?"" of the users browsers. Maybe some consulting with the devs/brion would be in order as well (but I fear they might find this main page naming discussion a bit strange... -).   

 :::The Swedes have  sv:Portal:Huvudsida and sv:Huvudsida. Their MediaWiki:mainpage is . So they have ""Portal"" on the first tab on top.   

 ====Location of move request==== 
 Somehow I don't think this is the best place for this move request. They normally appear on the talk pages for their associated articles so that those interested in the respective articles will take a look at the move request. But everybody reads the Main Page. We are polling nearly every visitor that chooses to come by... longtime editors and one-time readers alike. I understand that nearly everyone is allowed to !vote, but the idea behind the move request (Wikipedia-space vs. mainspace) is not a trivial concept the average fly-by reader would understand. I predict us getting an exceptionally large amount of !votes from uninformed visitors. That would not be helpful in resolving this issue.  ''''''  
 :It might not be helpful because there would be a large volume of such !votes that would make this discussion quite long, but the outcome of this discussion will be based on consensus and not the number of !votes, so I don't think it can really be that detrimental.  -  
 :Its ironic that they may not even understand the logic behind the whole idea in the first place. Especially this nonsense about ""!v
