Help:Special page
From Nissan 350Z & 370Z Wiki
The namespace "Special:" consists of "special pages". These have no corresponding wikitext; they are created by the software on demand. Some depend on the preferences that have been set, e.g. classic or enhanced Recent Changes, and the number of titles in Recent Changes and the watchlist, etc.

Special pages for all users
All of the below linked Special pages produce content particular to whatever wiki you are viewing this document on. If you are looking for a list of the available Special pages from a given wiki, use its Special:Specialpages page to get a list, or try viewing the page on this wiki, then editing your web address to change the server name, leaving the page portion intact.

From MediaWiki 1.5 one can also select all namespaces except a specified one; thus, although one cannot have a single list of all pages, one can select a small namespace and use the invert option, to get almost all pages.

Miscellaneous
Special pages can be linked to as usual, like Special:Recentchanges.
Special pages requiring a target page:
Special pages requiring a target user:
Special page allowing a starting page:
- Special:Allpages/Template (Standard prefixes are ignored, compare Special:Allpages/Template:C and Special:Allpages/Templat:C)
In some cases the full URL has to be given, like an external link, for example http://www.350z-tech.com/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Recentchanges&days=3&limit=10 (last 10 changes).
Redirects to Special pages have been disabled because of their complications.
"Special:" in URLs is e.g. "Speciaal" in Dutch, "Spezial" in German, "Speciális:" in Hungarian and "מיוחד:" in Hebrew. See e.g the prefix of "Recentchanges" in the URL of the link to the Recent changes.
On a special page the tab labelled with the namespace, in this case "Special Page", oddly links to the Main page.
{{Special:Newpages/5}} gives 5 new pages:
Alphabetic order
This section appears in Help:Page name, Help:Category, and Help:Special page.
The system applies alphabetical order only in page names, namely in the following features:
They are in Unicode order: the range 32-127 corresponds to ASCII, for more characters see Table of Unicode characters, 128 to 999, etc.
Thus we have the following partial list showing the order:
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_'
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~
¡¢£¤¥¦§¨©ª«Â®¯°±²³´µ•¸¹º»¼½¾¿

Note in particular that "Z" comes before "a", and "z" before "é". The blank space within a page name is treated as an underscore, and therefore comes after the capitals, and before the lower case letters. However, a "blank space" after the name comes before any character. Sometimes a special character looks like a regular letter, but has a special code anyway.
Thus we have the order PC, PCX, PC Bruno, PCjr, ΚÏÏια Σελίδα.
