+ | == List of special pages == |
||
− | A '''special page''' is a part of the MediaWiki software that performs specific functions, such as showing a list of broken redirects, and always begins with the prefix "Special:". |
||
+ | Below is a list of options in Special:SpecialPages, color coded by access levels: |
||
+ | * '''Black'''—Available to anyone |
||
+ | * <span style="color:green;">'''Green'''</span>—Available to logged in users |
||
+ | * <span style="color:red;">'''Red'''</span>—Available to admins |
||
+ | If a special page isn't available to a user, it will generally not display on their view of Special:SpecialPages. |
||
− | * The "Special pages" link in the toolbox in the sidebar leads to [[Special:SpecialPages]], which lists all available functions in alphabetical order. |
||
