Special pages are pages that can't be directly edited by users; their content is instead generated by the MediaWiki software automatically, sometimes in real-time, sometimes based on cached information. Most special pages provide lists of pages that match specific criteria, such as articles with no categories or those having no incoming links to them. Others list other things, such as registered users. Some are page-specific, such as "what links here".
Below is a list of the special pages in use on this wiki and brief descriptions of what they're used for. For more in-depth information, see WikimediaMeta:Help:Special page.
Contents |
Special pages for all users
These pages should be visible for everyone at Special:Specialpages.
Searching
These special pages are primarily used for searching.
General searching and browsing
- Search — Special:Search
- Allows keyword searching in any namespace or combination of namespaces (chosen by checkboxes).
- When wiki-linking to this special page, the results match those of a keyword search using the "search box" and the "Go" button; see Iron Chariots Wiki:Searching for more details.
- Examples: [[Special:Search/bible]], [[Special:Search/video]]
- All pages — Special:Allpages
- Alphabetical listing of all pages in a specified namespace (chosen by drop-down menu), including redirects, which are shown in black.
- When wiki-linking to this special page, a starting point can be given after a forward slash in the link; the main article namespace is used unless specified with a colon in the usual way.
- Examples: [[Special:Allpages/Bi]], [[Special:Allpages/Category:Bi]]
- All pages with prefix — Special:Prefixindex
- Very similar to Special:Allpages, described above, except the list contains only pages whose title begins with a given string of characters (the "prefix"); redirects are shown in black.
- When linking to this special page, the main article namespace is used; the "prefix" string is given after a forward slash at the end of the link.
- Example: [[Special:Prefixindex/bi]] (shows only the "Bi..." articles)
- Categories — Special:Categories
- Alphabetical list of categories actually in use on the wiki, including those for which pages have not been created yet (i.e., "missing categories"). Alternatives to this list include searching the Category namespace using "Allpages" or "Prefixindex" (doesn't include missing categories), or browsing the category structure starting at the top (doesn't include categories that have not been themselves categorized).
- Random page — Special:Randompage
- Brings up a randomly chosen page in the main namespace (by default).
- Can be made to work with other namespaces by appending the namespace prefix after a forward slash at the end of the link.
- Example: [[Special:Randompage/Template]]
