RE: [Mediawiki-l] Re: How to create a new Special page

I distinctly remember there was a way to add a title to a special page simply by entering in a URL, then adding the title to the wiki edit field, and then saving. The new "writing a new special page" how-to is very confusing - and it wants me to write PHP to get the title to show up. There was an easier way... I can't find this how-to anywhere- though I'm sure it used to exist. FX can you walk me through how you've added a wiki page title to a special page?

I just figured out how to build a new special page which is like the Uncategorized pages page, but looks at the Image namespace.
