I used them, we used them, and for wiki editors is OK to use them, but if we
point regular visitors to them then we failed. Here is recent example that
triggered this comment:
http://wiki.opensuse.org/Special:PrefixIndex/marketing
Special pages are tools for wiki editors, not casual visitor.
First what is wrong is general concept that wiki visitors should use Special
pages to find something. If we did not provide navigation the way we want, or
if we are too lazy to create one, or we have no time to do that, we are in a
trouble. For the last case (no time) we have to spend more time marketing wiki
collaboration. :) (don't look at me, I do what I can in that respect, but I
can't be in all places at once)
Second is that it will list only pages in Main namespace, where very few of
articles with title "Marketing <some topic>" belong. The 3 files that I found
there are moved to openSUSE namespace, as they are all work files and belong
there, not in the Main. Links are not updated (mea culpa), but they can be
retrieved from list of missing pages.
