- 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. Namespace prefixes are given, but the sortkey is the pagename without prefix.
- Special:Allmessages : Displays all pages in the MediaWiki namespace.
- Special:Prefixindex# if the last character of the prefix is a space or underscore it is ignored. One of many important applications is to find subpages with "fullpagename/".
- Special:Linksearch : Provides for each link on the wiki project the wiki page name (linked) and the full link target (also as a link). Special characters like colons not supported, leading wildcard * okay# they can represent one or more full domain name components only, e.g. *.ns.nl, *.eu.

See Help:Export and import.

[edit] Miscellaneous
- Special pages can be linked to as usual, like Special:Recentchanges.
- Special pages requiring a target page may give an error message if the target is not supplied:
or prompt for the target if it was not supplied yet; with target the link is e.g.
- 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://en.wikipedia.org/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.
- Some special pages can be included, such as Newpages, Wantedpages, Allpages, Prefixindex, and Recentchanges.
