This page in a nutshell: Auto-generated pages providing information such as the list of all pages, the list of pages with the most revisions, etc. |
Special pages are pages that are created by the MediaWiki software on demand.
They are located in their own namespace (Special) and are not editable directly as other pages.
It is not possible to make a redirect to a special page, or to create normal pages beginning with the "Special:" prefix.
Special pages often take arguments. Sometimes these can be supplied after a slash (as in Special:Log/block); in other cases an index.php call is used, as in https://saintapedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1&limit=500&days=7&urlversion=2. Also the content of some special pages depends on preferences that have been set by the user, e.g. classic or enhanced Recent Changes, the number of titles in Recent Changes and the watchlist, etc.
The full list can be found at Special:SpecialPages or in the Toolbox portion of the left navigation.
