On a few wiki, there is a page literally named "Home Page" or "HomePage". This page serves as a brief introduction to that wiki. When someone wants a URL to the wiki "as a whole", that page is the one linked to. (For example, http://oddwiki.taoriver.net/ ). (On many wiki, the equivalent page is called the "Front Page". On many other wiki, the equivalent page has a name that is the same as the name of the wiki.)
I personally find it confusing that people at some wiki communities say "HomePage" to refer to one of many personal pages (not literally named "HomePage"; each personal page has its own unique name, and there may be dozens of home pages on that wiki). Meanwhile, people at other wiki communities say "HomePage" to refer to the page literally named "Home Page". -- DavidCary
