||
+ | == How to find special pages == |
||
+ | * You can see a list of special pages available by visiting [[Special:SpecialPages]] on your wiki. |
||
+ | * If you're an [[Help:User rights#Administrators|admin]] on the wiki, you can find this in the [[Help:Admin Dashboard|Admin Dashboard]] under the "Advanced" Tab. |
||
+ | * If you want to create a shortcut to this list, you can add it to your [[Help:Toolbar|toolbar]] by clicking "Customize" and adding "Special pages" to your list. |
||
+ | == List of special pages == |
||
− | *The "Special pages" link in the toolbox in the sidebar leads to [[:Special:SpecialPages]], which lists all available functions in alphabetical order. |
||
+ | Below is a list of options in Special:SpecialPages, color coded by access levels: |
||

||
+ | * <span style="color:green;">'''Green'''</span>—Available to logged in users |
