General information
Special pages (SPs) are pages in the special-spages namespace tagged with  in the page title. Their main difference in properties to other namespaces, such as article pages or template pages is the fact that they cannot directly be edited by the user. They are automatically-generated-content-content pages and their content depends mostly on sytem command, not an a pre-written text field.

Editing
Special pages cannot be edited by an edit field. Editing them requires the edit of page-external system messages by administrators. One special page displays several messages at the time, scattered all over the page. In some cases, they do not accept any kind of wiki-syntax. For estetical issues, this should be tested before saving the changes. That causes the situation that special pages can only "edited" by administrators, in fact, and over an inderect way, only.
