How do I verify what restricted special pages appear on Special:SpecialPages if I don't have access to them?

I'm currently doing a project that involves separating certain special pages that appear on Special:SpecialPages from certain special pages that don't appear on Special:SpecialPages. The problem is that some of the special pages are ones that I don't have access to. If I'm not mistaken, it is possible to verify what special pages appear on Special:SpecialPages by browsing the repositories of their respective extensions on GitHub. But how do I do that?

The special pages that are on my checklist include the following:

  • Special:DeleteBatch (should appear as 'Delete batch of pages' if it appears on Special:SpecialPages)
  • Special:EditAccount (should appear as 'Edit account' if it appears on Special:SpecialPages)

There are a few others that are on my checklist, but the extensions associated with them are not ones that have their own extension pages on this site. Therefore, I need to be able to learn how to read the code in the repositories to avoid having to ask those with access to those pages to check for me.
