Should this not be redirected to the more complete version at Manual:Special Pages? --AnonDiss 15:53, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
- No. It should be expanded. See Project:PD help. --HappyDog 16:10, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Work in the Manual: ns
I made the following pages, which should be ported here I guess...
- Manual:Special:Undelete (moved to Help:Undelete --Dmb 17:06, 28 September 2011 (UTC))
- Template:Special page
- Manual:Interface/Special pages
In general, what goes under Manual vs. the Help ns?

- Manual namespace is the MediaWiki manual, for system administrators and developers. Help namespace is for users of wikis, and is intended to be imported into wikis. To make reuse easier, all content in the Help namespace is released into the public domain by its authors. See Project:PD Help. We should probably warn people about that before they move pages into that namespace to avoid copyright problems. Undeleting is already covered in the Help namespace, in Help:Sysop deleting and undeleting. Your addition then seems redundant, and discussion of the rights involved is not really useful for a wiki's end users. Reach Out to the Truth 16:31, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

"Special:UserLogin" has link "log in using OpenID" to "Special:OpenIDLogin", but "No such special page"??
https://wiki.linuxquestions.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin
https://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Special:OpenIDLogin
... Or maybe this wiki is just functionally dead-ish?
... No wait, I meant to ask for specifically [wiki.linuxquestions.org]
but it took me to this more generic/meta [mediawiki.org]
so I don't know whether I'm even posting this in the right place...?
I mean, I found I was logged out here on [mediawiki.org]
even though I followed what I *thought* was an internal link on [wiki.linuxquestions.org]
But even though it linked me here (ie to [mediawiki.org]),
I found I was logged out here,
and when I went to log in here
I found it was indeed the same username/password as my [en.wikipedia.org]
|
and yet [wiki.linuxquestions.org]
had let me create a *different* account with the exact same username (and a different password),
but [mediawiki.org]
insisted that I couldn't create a new account with that username.
So yeah, I'm a bit confused.
Did [wiki.linuxquestions.org] *used to* be linked together with mediawiki.org]
in the same way [en.wikipedia.org] still is?

- That's due to a local override of https://wiki.linuxquestions.org/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Loginprompt on that wiki, which its admins need to fix. I can't answer anything else. For future reference Project:Support desk would be a better venue, per the edit notice of this page. * Pppery * it has begun 04:10, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks! Like I said, I'm thinking [wiki.linuxquestions.org] *might* be functionally dead-ish(?)
- (I *just* signed up there)
- so maybe it's just of no practical importance to anyone anymore,
- and me stumbling across it and making the effort to ask was just a freak occurrence? Dwawlyn (talk) 04:17, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Um, btw, I almost missed your reply -- is there some way to receive email notifications of replies like this? Cuz I couldn't immediately spot one under:
