I don't know if this was the intended behavior, but now Main.WebHome doesn't have any kind of breadcrumb.

From what I understand from this issue is that "Welcome to your wiki" text shouldn't be a link, but now it has disappeared.

IMO this is the way the Main.WebHome breadcrumb should look like.

"Breadcrumbs are almost always implemented the same way, with a horizontal line that

  • progresses from the highest level to the lowest, one step at a time;
  • starts with the homepage and ends with the current page;
  • has a simple text link for each level (except for the current page, because you should never have a link that does nothing); and
  • has a simple, one-character separator between the levels (usually ">")."

"Display a horizontal list of labels starting with the topmost page and continuing down the site's hierarchy to the current page."

Right now, Main.WebHome has been left without it's breadcrumb.
The breadcrumb on the WebHome should state in plain text "Welcome to your wiki", because this is the last location in the hierarchy and this is the current location for the user.

The duplication of words is ok because
"Where possible, labels should match the title of their corresponding page." (YUI)

Since removing just the link was done as XWIKI-5375, all that's left of this issue is removing the text. Caty is for keeping the text (close as WONTFIX), I'm not quite decided on either option. Silvia, do you agree with a WONTFIX, or do you believe that the text shouldn't be there at all?
