The page Special:Pages provides an A-Z index of all pages in the wiki. The pages are organized by namespace.
Entrypoint "Pages"
By default, the Pages link is located in the main navigation of the wiki in the link group Entrypoints.
Administrators have the option to deactivate this link in the Config manager.
If your wiki does not provide this link, you can simply load the page Special:Pages or add this link to your own user menu.
Filter
The filter field at the top of the page allows to find pages in the currently selected namespace. The filter is not case-sensitive.
General functionality
- If a page has subpages, you can click on the angle bracket in front of the name to expand the subpages.
- Hovering over a page name displays an info icon and a star icon.
- info icon: opens the page information dialog box to get general information / statistics about the page.
- star icon: clicking the star icon allows to add a page to your watchlist. A solid star means that the page is on your watchlist. An empty star means that the page is currently not on your watchlist.
Configuration
Clicking on the configuration icon () allows you to set the following options:
- Show talk namespaces: If your wiki uses the discussion pages, you can see the talk (=discussion) namespaces in addition to the standard content namespaces.
- Show non content namespaces: If you want to see the pages in the built-in MediaWiki namespaces (for examples, the namespaces Template or Form), you need to activate this option.
- Show redirects: Redirect pages are hidden by default. This option allows you to see all redirect pages in a namespace as well. The redirect pages are marked with an arrow symbol after the page name.
