'''Special pages''' are pages generated by the software on demand for special purposes, usually related to project maintenance. They are found in the <code>Special:</code> [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]], a virtual namespace whose pages lack corresponding talk pages. They are not written in [[Help:Wikitext|wikitext]] and cannot be directly edited but elements of their pages can sometimes be edited through corresponding pages in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]]. If you make a normal redirect to a special page, the redirect will not be immediately followed (though special pages can be targets of [[Wikipedia:Soft redirect|soft redirect]]s), and directly creating any pages beginning with the <code>Special:</code> prefix is also not possible.
