== Modifying special pages ==
Although special pages are not themselves editable, they generally contain standard text which is modifiable (although only by administrators). To find the right portion of text, append <code>[[mw:Help:Qqx|?uselang=qqx]]</code> to the special page URL, or append <code>&uselang=qqx</code> instead if the URL already contains a <code>?</code>. This will reveal message names in parentheses. Then, go to that name in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]]. For example, {{querylink|Special:BookSources|qs=uselang=qqx|2=Special:BookSources?uselang=qqx}} reveals "(booksources-summary)", so [[MediaWiki:Booksources-summary]] is used on that page. To propose a modification, leave an {{tl|edit fully-protected}} request on the talk page of the relevant MediaWiki page. An administrator will make the change if it seems appropriate.

For the order in which pages are listed, see [[Help:Alphabetical order]].
* [[Special:Categories]]: shows an alphabetical list of categories, with numbers of members.
* [[Special:CategoryTree]]: displays categories in a tree structure.

* [[Special:Book]] (Manage your book): gives access to functionality for creating personalized sets of Wikipedia pages. See [[Help:Books]].
* [[Special:ComparePages]]: to compare two pages (diffs between two pages).
* [[Special:Diff]]: e.g. <code><nowiki>[[Special:Diff/611653557|<text>]]</nowiki></code> gives [[Special:Diff/611653557|diff between version 611653557 and the preceding version of the same article]], or <code><nowiki>[[Special:Diff/583498451/611653557|<text>]]</nowiki></code> gives [[Special:Diff/583498451/611653557|diff between version 583498451 and 611653557]], not necessarily of the same article, e.g. [[Special:Diff/330350877/611653557]].
** [[Special:MobileDiff/548289653...567368971|Special:MobileDiff/''id1''...''id2'']]: diffs in mobile version. e.g., [[Special:MobileDiff/548289653...567368971]].
* [[Special:Export]] (Export pages): produces an XML file containing the wikitext and metadata of either the current version only, or all revisions, of one or more pages, specified in the form of a list; the XML file is in the format required for Special:Import; exporting is typically done either in preparation of applying the latter at another MediaWiki project, or for searching within old page revisions. See [[Help:Export]].
* [[Special:Gadgets]]: lists gadgets that users can enable in their preferences.
* [[Special:MIMESearch]]: filters files for [[media type]].

* [[Special:Nearby]]: to see a list of articles around you (articles near your geographical ___location).
* [[Special:Random]]: redirects to a random page from the main namespace which is not a redirect. Other namespaces can be specified as a parameter, e.g. [[Special:Random/Talk]]. See [[Wikipedia:Random]] for more details.
* [[Special:RandomInCategory]] (Random page in category): redirects to a random page within the specified category (can be from any namespace).
* [[Special:RandomRedirect]]: redirects to a random redirect page.
* [[Special:RandomRootpage]]: redirects to a random ''root'' page, that is, excluding sub-pages. Some wikis, such as Wikibooks, use a sub-page hierarchy. This function can be used there as a substitute for Special:Random, so it can be used to show "random books" in Wikibooks, instead of random pages.<ref>[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/Suggestions/Archive 18#Volunteer-initiated extension to be deployed to Wikimedia sites]]</ref>
* [[Special:Search]]: for searching Wikipedia. See [[Help:Searching]].
