is it possible to set the default home page of a wiki to be the Dashboard Application somehow? I so far didn’t find any way. It always redirects me to something else or adds XWikiManager as prefix automatically.
Dashboard URL would be /bin/view/Dashboard/ …
any idea would be greatly apprechiated.
thx,

Yes, see https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/How%20to%20change%20the%20home%20page%20destination
i did follow that already, I’m on version 8… I can set another wiki article as home without problem, but not the Dashboard-Application
Can’t help you if you don’t provide more details about what you did… 
What method have you used and if you changed the wiki descriptor what new home page text have you put?
sorry:
ok, i did use the option in Administration -> Wikis -> Descriptor.
I had there “Main.WebHome” and it goes to my XWIki-Home. But when I change this to “Dashboard” then after save it is replaced with “WikiManager.Dashboard”. The link shows then “/bin/view/WikiManager/Dashboard” and is producing a “could not be found”.
Tried as well with other combinations like Main.Dashboard.
Dashboard app shows correctly however in browser if I use the path: /bin/view/Dashboard/
hope this is better information base now.
The reference to the dashboard page is Dashboard.WebHome
See https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/How%20can%20I%20get%20the%20reference%20of%20a%20page
What this means BTW is that we need a Page Picker with autosuggest to be used for this field.
this works PERFECTLY. Thank you very much!!
So actually we are already using a page picker with autosuggest. The only remaining usability issues are:
