Special pages are really cool!

I Recently found out that there are a ton of really cool special pages that do some really cool things, so I though I'd share them.

Link to actions

• Special:EditPage. Link to a page with the action of "edit."
• Special:PageHistory. Link to a page with the action of "history."

Kinda "action" pages, but not really

• Special:Diff. Link to a specific diff!

Random pages

Send the user to a random page.

• Special:Random. Good old classic.
• Special:RandomRootpage. Random non-subpage.
• Special:RandomRedirect. A random redirect on the wiki. Appends ?redirect=no.
• Special:RandomInCategory. Get a random page from a category.

Tip for all of these

For all random special pages (minus in category), add /<page name> to the end of the title (like Special:Random/User) to specify a namespace.

MyPage

These allow you to link to the current user without using variables that completely mess up cache ({{currentuser}}).

• Special:MyPage. Redirect to the current user's user page (or a subpage of it)
• Special:MyTalk. Redirect to current user's talk page (or a subpage of it).
• Special:MyContributions. Redirect to the contributions by the current user.
• Special:MyUploads. Redirect to show files uploaded by the current user.

Special:Version

Special:Version is my favorite special page. This is for one key reason: it tells you stuff that you can do you might not have known before! It includes all extensions added to the wiki.
