new pages

How can I get more than the past 15 new pages I created to display? -Eep² 04:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Random Page

The random page function only seems to find small rural American counties, European footballers, or obscure albums by obscure musical artists. I remember only two or three years ago, "random page" almost always gave you something interesting and truly encyclopedic; random page really needs the ability to restrict by category! To omit categories of choice. It could also help people find random stubs and etc. 207.202.227.125 00:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also was looking into how does one restrict to a category or pages that fall under a wikiproject. Any info welcome!!! --Squidonius (talk) 21:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Seconded. This needs a lot more attention than it is currently getting. Palladmial (talk) 23:38, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted Contributions

I've found a special page with this name but is it restricted or available for all users? TobytheTramEngine 18:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that it is only restricted to administrators. However, as I am not yet an admin, I am not too sure. --Siva1979Talk to me 12:42, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I see. Well, I didn't click it because I thought it would display this message to non-administrators: Permission error: The action you have requested is limited to the group of administrators. TobytheTramEngine 19:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is limited to sysops. TobytheTramEngine (talk) 18:44, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Special:CategoryTree.

Is there some way of having Special:CategoryTree listed on this page? I was going to just asd it, but see that this page is a copy of a master page. However it's done, Special:CategoryTree should be listed here. --11:28, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

This is complete. Gerardw (talk) 16:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Special Page: Cite

It would be helpful to new users to add a little more information to this page. I was trying to figure out what it did but was concerned I was going to inadvertently edit something. (Eventually I went with be bold and tried it out.) Specifically:

  • Add note indicating Page text field should be a wikipedia page (instead of a url)
  • Page outputs a citation which can be cut and paste into documents.

Gerardw (talk) 16:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious...

Does anyone know what the purpose of Special:BlankPage is? It doesn't seem to have any obvious use. Terraxos (talk) 06:03, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ROTFL!!! WOW!!! I didn't know such a special page even existed. Anyway... you might want to check MediaWiki for details, though I doubt that there is any documentation or help about that special page. --Lightsup55 ( T | C ) 13:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
