The [[Help:Namespace|namespace]] "Special:" consists of '''"special pages"'''. These have no corresponding wikitext; they are created by the software on demand. They are useful to see things going on in the wiki or looking at the wiki's statistics. This page is probably more useful for experienced users, though new users may also find it beneficial. ==Special pages for all users== All of the below linked Special pages produce content particular to this wiki. ;Special pages : [[Special:Specialpages]] : A list of all special pages for all users. ; Recent changes : [[Special:Recentchanges]] : The latest edits in the project. ;Upload file : [[Special:Upload]] : Upload a file to the wiki. ;Image list : [[Special:Imagelist]] : List of images uploaded that can be sorted by size or date ;New images : [[Special:Newimages]] : Gallery of new files. ;User list : [[Special:Listusers]] : A list of all registered users. ;Admins list : [[Special:Listadmins]] : A list of all [[RuneScape:Administrators|administrators]]; an automatic list is at [[Special:Listusers/Sysop]]. ;Statistics : [[Special:Statistics]] : Total number of pages, images, and users. ;Random page : [[Special:Randompage]] : Redirects to a random page from the main namespace which is not a redirect. Other namespaces can be specified as a parameter, eg: [[Special:Randompage/Talk]]. ;Orphaned pages : [[Special:Lonelypages]] : Articles with no links to them in the wiki. ;Uncategorised pages : [[Special:Uncategorizedpages]] : Pages without category tags. This page refreshes once or twice a day, so if you placed a category on a page without one, you will still see it listed on this page for awhile. ;Unused images : [[Special:Unusedimages]] ;Wanted pages : [[Special:Wantedpages]] : Articles which have been requested / most wanted, specifically those that have at least 2 incoming links, but do not exist. ;Short pages : [[Special:Shortpages]] : Pages in the main namespace, with size of the wikitext (excluding any templates used) in bytes, in order of increasing size. ;Long pages : [[Special:Longpages]] : Pages in the main namespace, with size in bytes, in order of decreasing size. ;New pages : [[Special:Newpages]] : Newest pages with creation date and time, current size, user who created the page, and first edit summary, in reverse order of creation. ;Oldest pages : [[Special:Ancientpages]] : Pages in the main namespace, with date and time of last edit, in order of last edit. ;Dead-end pages : [[Special:Deadendpages]] : Pages that do not link to any other articles. ;Double redirects : [[Special:Doubleredirects]] ;Broken redirects : [[Special:Brokenredirects]] ;What links here : [[Special:Whatlinkshere]] ;Most categories : [[Special:Mostcategories]] : Articles with the most categories. ;Most revisions : [[Special:Mostrevisions]] : Articles with the most revisions (edits). ;All pages : [[Special:Allpages]] : All pages in a specified namespace in alphabetical order, including redirects (italicised). ;All system messages : [[Special:Allmessages]] : Displays all pages in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]]. ;Pages starting with a given prefix : [[Special:Prefixindex]]; if the last character of the prefix is a space or underscore it is ignored. One of many important applications is to find subpages with "fullpagename/". ;Find external links : [[Special:Linksearch]] ;List of blocked IP addresses and usernames : [[Special:Ipblocklist]] : Currently blocked IPs and usernames. ;Book sources : [[Special:Booksources]] : ISBN Book Sources. ;Categories : [[Special:Categories]] : Lists all the categories in the wiki. ;Uncategorised categories : [[Special:Uncategorizedcategories]] ;Export pages : [[Special:Export]] : Produces an XML file containing the wikitext and metadata of either the current version only, or all revisions, of one or more pages, specified in the form of a list; the XML file is in the format required for Special:Import; exporting is typically done either in preparation of applying the latter at another MediaWiki project, or for searching within old page revisions. ;Version : [[Special:Version]] : Shows the version of the MediaWiki software the wiki is currently running, and a listing of extensions installed. ;Captcha :[[Special:Captcha]] : On projects supporting this <nowiki>[[mediazilla:4845|feature]]</nowiki>. ;Confirm your email address :[[Special:Confirmemail]] ;My preferences : [[Special:Preferences]] : Select preferences to customize the appearance and behaviour of the software. See [[Help:Preferences]]. ;My watchlist : [[Special:Watchlist]] : Show the pages you are watching. ;My page : [[Special:Mypage]] : Link to the user page of the user who follows it. ;My talk page : [[Special:Mytalk]] : Link to the talk page of the user who follows it. ;Edit count : [[Special:Editcount]] ;Login : [[Special:Userlogin]] : Creates new login cookie. ;Logout : [[Special:Userlogout]] : Destroys cookie. ==Restricted special pages== ;Block user : [[Special:Blockip]] : Sysop only. Used to block or unblock users, IPs and ranges of IPs. ;Import pages : [[Special:Import]] : Sysop only. Imports the wikitext and metadata of one or more revisions of one or more pages by uploading an XML file in the format produced by Special:Export (typically after applying the latter at another MediaWiki project). ;Unwatched pages : [[Special:Unwatchedpages]] : Sysop only. Shows pages not watched by any user. ;Restore deleted page : [[Special:Undelete]] : Sysop only. View deleted pages. ==Logs== [[Special:Log]] - Combined display of various logs. You can narrow down the view by: *Selecting a log type, including: ** [[Special:Log/block|Block log]] - Blocks and unblocks. ** [[Special:Log/protect|Protection log]] - Protected and unprotected pages. ** [[Special:Log/rights|User rights log]] - Dates when users were given admin status or had it removed. ** [[Special:Log/delete|Deletion log]] - Deleted and undeleted pages. ** [[Special:Log/upload|Upload log]] - List of images uploaded. ** [[Special:Log/move|Move log]] - Pages moved. ** [[Special:Log/import|Import log]] - Imports. ** [[Special:Log/gvrollback|Rollback rights log]] - Changes to non-sysops' rollback rights. *entering the full name without prefix of the acting user (usual case-sensitivity) *entering the full name of the affected page (usual case-sensitivity, e.g. "Image:Map South Holland.png"), or the full name including prefix of the affected user (in the case of blocking, setting user rights, setting bot status, and user creation) or without prefix (in the case of renaming a user) It does not seem possible to search by editor for edits of deleted pages. They can only be seen by a sysop with Special:Undelete if the exact page name is known. There are no logs available on the site for: *adding or removing a page from a user's list of page to watch (the user can only view the current state) *change of preferences of a user (ditto) *viewing a page *editing and previewing a page without saving *applying [[Special:Export]] *unfinished operations (e.g. an attempted page move) ==Miscellaneous== *Special pages can be linked to as usual, like [[Special:Recentchanges]]. *Special pages requiring a target page may give an error message if the target is not supplied: ::[[Special:Recentchangeslinked/Help:Template]] ::[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Help:Template]] or prompt for the target if it was not supplied yet; with target the link is e.g. ::[[Special:Linksearch/*.kennisnet.nl]] *Special pages requiring a target user: ::[[Special:Contributions/User]] *Special page allowing a starting page: ::[[Special:Allpages/Template]] (Standard prefixes are ignored, compare [[Special:Allpages/Template:C]]) ::In some cases the full URL has to be given, like an external link, for example https://runescape.wiki/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&days=3&limit=10 (last 10 changes). ::[[Special:Random/Template]] *Some special pages can be included, such as [[Special:Newpages|Newpages]], [[Special:Wantedpages|Wantedpages]], [[Special:Allpages|Allpages]], [[Special:Prefixindex|Prefixindex]], and [[Special:Recentchanges|Recentchanges]]. ::<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Special:Newpages]]/5<nowiki>}}</nowiki> gives 5 new pages: {{Special:Newpages/5}} {{Help}}
