Editing Special Pages
Can you edit special pages? If so, how? Unstubber 21:57, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, you can’t. ― PapíDimmi  ( talk | contribs )  00:39, July 12, 2016 (UTC)

No link?
Since the sidebar no longer exists, is there no link to the special pages anymore? I mean, I know I can type it in, I'm just curious if there's a way to avoid doing that. --Ultimate Frog-Man 19:42, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Most Searched pages?
I know there is a special page for the "Most visited pages", but could there possibly be a page to see what users are searching for the most? Neocarleen 04:07, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Cached
I've noticed that on all of the special pages, there's a sentence at the top that says, "The following data is cached, and was last updated (insert date here)". Is there a way to manually update it, or does it update automatically? Reversinator 19:31, November 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not a way to update it, as far as I know, but it does automatically update at 8:00 every day. UltrasonicNXT
 * I'm seeing a message saying The following data is cached, and was last updated 12:02, April 16, 2012. Are you sure it's every day? Or does it only update if something has changed, like for example, I'm viewing uncategorized pages, so would it only update if a page got added (new page) or removed (categorized)? +y@talk 04:50, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

Purpose of Special:Wantedpages exclude titles filter?
What exactly is this supposed to do? Currently, it has no visible effect on the list or the URL. -- BryghtShadow 07:05, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Why special page User rights is " bureaucrats only"? Admin can give chat moderator by this site and cut own administrator rights Po prostu Buzzek (talk) 16:42, June 5, 2013 (UTC)

WhatLinksHere filters
Would anyone know if it would be possible to add a fourth filter for transcluded links? Currently the 'hide transclusion' option only hides direct transclusions of a page (usually templates) and 'hide links' hides ALL links. What I am hoping for is a filter which keeps in direct links, but removes links that happen to pages only because the links are in a template and that link shows up via a transclusion of the template. Currently discussing this on Thread:545695.

Basically, if Page A transcludes Template B that links to Page C, and page D links to page C, if I run a WhatLinksHere for C, I only want B and D to show up, not A. +Yc 22:31, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

BlockMe
So... does anyone know what Special:Blockme did? I have found no mention of it anywhere, but it apparently was real... once. Schiffy (T &#124; C ) 01:02, November 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * I assume it, well, blocked yourself. You can still block yourself via Special:Block. Having a special page dedicated to block yourself, especially considering that you can do so on another special page, is clearly pointless. <font color="#0020C2">― <font color="#0000A0">PapíDimmi  <font color="#571B7E">( <font color="#4AA02C">talk | <font color="#4AA02C">contribs <font color="#571B7E">)  00:50, July 12, 2016 (UTC)

Special:WikiStats
http://shovelknight.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiStats hasn't updated since January of this year. Are they only generated once a year or is there a way to force it to re-generate? Lessthan1337 00:47, June 27, 2015 (UTC)
