 * The “” tool lists the MediaWiki special pages. In MediaWiki terminology, a special page is one that presents information about the Wiki and/or allows access to administration activities for the wiki. For example, a list of users registered with the wiki, statistics about the wiki such as the number of pages and number of page edits, system logs, a list of orphaned pages, and so on. These special pages are commonly generated when the special page is loaded rather than being stored in the wiki database. The function and use of the default special pages can be found in the special pages section of this manual.

Page Tabs


The page tabs are displayed at the top of the page to the right of the site logo (if using the MonoBook skin or the default Vector skin since MediaWiki 1.16). These tabs allow you to perform actions or view pages that are related to the current page. The available default actions include: viewing, editing, and discussing the current page. The specific tabs displayed on your pages depend on whether or not you are logged into the wiki and whether you have sysop (administrator) privileges on the wiki. On special pages only the namespace tab is displayed.


 * Default for all users
 * “namespace” (page, help, special page, template, user page etc.)
 * “” (may read “” if anonymous editing is disabled, the page is in the MediaWiki: namespace, or the page is protected)
 * “” (may read “” if anonymous editing is disabled, the page is in the MediaWiki: namespace, or the page is protected)


 * Extra tabs for logged-in users:


 * Extra tabs for sysops:

Administrators can add or remove tabs by using JavaScript or installing extensions, so the tabs you see may be different depending on which wiki you are using.

User Links


The user links are displayed at the top far right of the page (if using the default Vector skin). These tabs allow the logged-in user to view and edit their user page and wiki preferences. Additionally, the user links allow the user to quickly access their contributions to the wiki and logout.

For anonymous users the user links is replaced by a link to the wiki login page or, if enabled, a link to your IP address and your IP address's talk page.
