Editing Help:Transclusion (section)

==Special pages==
{{see also|Wikipedia:Special pages#Miscellaneous}}

Some pages on [[Special:Specialpages]] can be transcluded, such as [[Special:AllPages|AllPages]], [[Special:PrefixIndex|PrefixIndex]], [[Special:NewFiles|NewFiles]], [[Special:NewPages|NewPages]], [[Special:RecentChanges|RecentChanges]], [[Special:WhatLinksHere|WhatLinksHere]] (see [[Help:What_links_here#Transclusion_of_WhatLinksHere|help page]]), and [[Special:RecentChangesLinked|RecentChangesLinked]].
Samples:
*<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Special:AllPages/General}}</syntaxhighlight> – a list of pages starting at "General".
*<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Special:PrefixIndex/General}}</syntaxhighlight> – a list of pages with prefix "General".
*<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Special:NewFiles/4}}</syntaxhighlight> – a gallery of the four most recently uploaded files.
*<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Special:NewPages/5}}</syntaxhighlight> – a list of the five most recently created pages.
*<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Special:RecentChanges/5}}</syntaxhighlight> – the five most recent changes.
*<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Special:RecentChangesLinked/General}}</syntaxhighlight> – recent changes to the pages linked from "General".
*<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Special:Contribs/Larry Sanger|offset=20021108002158|limit=50}}</syntaxhighlight> – user contributions prior to November 2002, limited to 50.

Attempting to transclude <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Special:Categories}}</syntaxhighlight> will not result in an actual list of categories, but <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Special:PrefixIndex/Category:}}</syntaxhighlight> can be used for this purpose.

Except for <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>Special:RecentChangesLinked</syntaxhighlight>, the slash, and the word or number after the slash, can be omitted, giving a list of pages without a specific starting point, or a list of the default length.

[[Help:URL|URL]] parameters can be given like template parameters:
*<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Special:RecentChanges|namespace=10|limit=5}}</syntaxhighlight> – the five most recent changes in the "Template" namespace.
*<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Special:PrefixIndex/Jimbo Wales/|namespace=2|stripprefix=1}}</syntaxhighlight> – the subpages for [[User:Jimbo Wales]], but without the user page prefix.

''Note:'' Transcluding certain special pages (such as [[Special:NewPages]]) can change the [[Wikipedia:Page name|displayed title]] of the page.
