You can designate a node to be your "preferred default node". Go to your User Settings and enter a node ID in the box labeled Preferred Default Page. (NB: this must be a node ID, not a node title.)

If you navigate to the node named default, it will redirect you to your configured default node. (If you have no node so configured, it will redirect you to The Monastery Gates.)

This "preferred default node" is also used on the Login page, as one of the suggested places you can go next, after logging in.

In the future it may be used for other things as well. Suggestions welcome.

    How is this different to Preferred Default Page?

    If nowise, Reap as duplicate. :-)

    Update: I think I got it. It now has a name!

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

      Good question! What's new is the default page, which redirects to your configured preferred default page, in case you find that useful.
