Ah, I see. That isn't what I had thought it meant. I was under the impression that that would be the active tab when the wiki opened.
Personally I think that that is definitely needed. Surely the point is that you want to be able to force a specific state when the Wiki opens, that way anyone and everyone will get exactly the same starting position and reduces confusion. At least it should be an option, definitely the control panel needs a bit of a tweak in any case. Do I need to do anything?
