MediaWiki searches all pages in a specified group of names in a special [[w:ASCII#Order|ASCII order]]. Capitals come before lowercase letters; special characters, such as <tvar name="1">''é''</tvar>, come after <tvar name="2">''z''</tvar>. |

MediaWiki searches include redirects (for example: <tvar name="1"><nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Page name]]</nowiki></tvar>). These redirects are usually displayed in a different style than normal pages because of <tvar name="2"><code>allpagesredirect</code></tvar> class. |

Revision as of 11:09, 1 March 2022
This page is outdated, but if it was updated, it might still be useful. Please help by correcting, augmenting and revising the text into an up-to-date form. |
Special pages are created by the software on demand. They are located in the "Special:" namespace and have no corresponding wikitext. An automatic list of most special pages is available by the Special pages link on every wiki page. Below is an arranged list of special pages available on most Wikimedia projects. Page names are case-insensitive; their default names were converted from capitalized lowercase to CamelCase in March 2008. For many special pages the option Preferences → Recent changes → "Number of edits to show in recent changes, page histories, and in logs, by default:" determines the number of titles per page.
Lists
All pages
- All pages (Allpages)
- All pages with prefix (Prefixindex)
MediaWiki searches all pages in a specified group of names in a special ASCII order. Capitals come before lowercase letters; special characters, such as é, come after z.
MediaWiki searches include redirects (for example: #REDIRECT[[Page name]]). These redirects are usually displayed in a different style than normal pages because of allpagesredirect
class.
If a person uses "Display pages starting at:" to search, both Special:Prefixindex and Special:Allpages will show the list of pages starting with this word, then Allpages will display all of the other pages in ASCII order which don't have this word.
For example, if a person types in "Computer" in the "Display pages starting at:" box on the Special:AllPages page, MediaWiki will first list all pages that start with the word "Computer":
- Computer
- Computer-Aided Design
- Computer-Aided Test Tool
- ComputerWorld Smithsonian Award
MediaWiki will then list all of the other pages that don't start with "Computer" in ASCII order.
Protected
- Protected pages (Protectedpages) — pages protected from editing
- Protected titles (Protectedtitles) — titles protected from creation. This feature replaced cascading protection hack. Titles can be also protected by mask with MediaWiki:Titleblacklist.
Categories
- Categories (Categories)
- List of all categories, alphabetically ordered, showing the number of top elements in each category. Not very convenient, so many projects create index pages like w:Wikipedia:Contents/Categories.
- Category Tree (Categorytree)
- The tree of pages and subcategories, using Extension:CategoryTree. The same tree functionality is used on categories pages, and can be inserted into any page with
<categorytree>
tag.
Images
- Files (Imagelist)
- List of uploaded files with descriptions, can be sorted by date, name or size.
- Gallery of new files (Newimages)
- Gallery of uploaded files with thumbnails, sorted by upload date.
Cached lists
All these lists are updated periodically (not in real time). They say "The following data is cached" and show the day of the last update. All these lists are limited to 5000 titles, on several large Wikimedia projects to 1000 titles.
Record pages
- Redirects (Listredirects)
- List of first 500/1000 redirects, ordered by creation date.
- Most transcluded pages (Mostlinkedtemplates)
- Most linked-to files (Mostimages)
- Most linked-to categories (Mostlinkedcategories)
These lists only show main namespace pages:
- Pages with the most categories (Mostcategories)
- Short pages (Shortpages)
- Long pages (Longpages)
The following lists are no longer updated in Wikimedia projects due to big server load:
Most linked-to pages(Mostlinked)Oldest pages(Ancientpages)Pages with the fewest revisions(Fewestrevisions)Pages with the most revisions(Mostrevisions)
Problematic
- Broken redirects (BrokenRedirects)
- Redirects to non-existent pages, usually left after deletions. Periodically fixed or deleted by administrators.
- Double redirects (DoubleRedirects)
- Redirects to other redirects. May contain false positives. Double redirects are fixed by bots in many projects.
- Orphaned pages (Lonelypages)
- Main namespace pages with no links to them in the wiki.
- Dead-end pages (Deadendpages)
- Main namespace pages without any outgoing internal links.
- Pages without language links (Withoutinterwiki)
- Main namespace pages without Interlanguage links.
- Wanted categories (Wantedcategories)
- Non-existent categories used on wiki pages. These should either be created (by adding category description and upper categories) or those wiki pages should be fixed (e.g. if someone mistyped a category name).
- Wanted pages (Wantedpages)
- List of non-existing pages with the most links to them, excluding pages which only have redirects linking to them.
Without categories
Usually these pages need to be either categorized or deleted.
- Uncategorized pages (Uncategorizedpages)
- Uncategorized categories (Uncategorizedcategories)
- Uncategorized files (Uncategorizedimages)
- Uncategorized templates (Uncategorizedtemplates)
Unused
If the pages are not used, they probably need to be deleted. Note however that images might be used externally, and templates may be used for substitution.
- Unused files (Unusedimages)
- Unused categories (Unusedcategories)
- Unused templates (Unusedtemplates)
Tools

- ⧼filepath⧽ (Filepath)
- Returns the complete path for a file.
- Expand templates (ExpandTemplates)
- Provides an input box to enter wikitext, and another one to enter a page name, and produces expanded wikitext, i.e., templates, parser functions and variables are expanded recursively; variables depending on page name are expanded based on the supplied page name.
- Book sources (Booksources)
- ISBN Book Sources
- Cite This Page (Cite)
- Export pages (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. See Help:Export on MediaWiki.
Search

- See Help:Searching .
- External links search (Linksearch)
- See Help:Linksearch on MediaWiki.
- MIME search (MIMEsearch)
- Filters files for its MIME-type.

Links to special pages
Special pages can be linked to as usual, like Special:Recentchanges. Instead of "special" prefix, a localized namespace name can be used, e.g. "Speciaal" in Dutch, "Spezial" in German, "Speciális" in Hungarian and "מיוחד" in Hebrew. The localized name also appears in the URLs.
Redirects to special pages have been disabled because of their complications.
Some special pages accept (and some require) a parameter after /
. For other pages and parameters the full URL has to be given, for example //meta.wikimedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Recentchanges&days=3&limit=10 (last 10 changes).
Allpages
andPrefixindex
allow a namespace and a (partial) pagename, for example:
- Special:Allpages/Template:Z — all templates starting with "Z" and all templates after that.
- Special:Prefixindex/User:Example/ — all subpages of user Example; this is the most popular usage of PrefixIndex.
- Besides, these special pages can be transcluded into wikitext, so the result appears as the part of the page, e.g.
{{Special:Prefixindex/User:Example/}}
.

Logs
Special:Log - combined display of various logs. You can narrow down the view by:
- selecting a log type, including:
- ⧼blockpage⧽ - blocks and unblocks
- Deletion log - deleted and undeleted pages
- Protection log - protected and unprotected pages
- Upload log - list of images uploaded
- 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. "File: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 (except that, if $wgDisableCounters is
false
, the total number of views of a page is displayed on it) - editing and previewing a page without saving
- applying Special:ExpandTemplates
- applying Special:Export
- unfinished operations (e.g. an attempted page move)
It is possible to add other events to the logs; for an example, see the code for Extension:GlobalBlocking or for Article.php.
