Feature summary
Redirect from Special:RenderPage/$1 to index.php?title=$1&action=render.
Use cases
- (This is not specifically intended for use on WMF wikis) My personal, primary use case is setting a rendered page as MediaWiki:Mainpage. With this trick, it is possible to create a full main page without any navigation elements. Of course, this can be done with CSS too, but I think using Special:RenderPage is a more straight forward solution.
- [{{fullurl:An Article|action=render}} Render] wikitext make an external link, and It seems to be harmful in some context to readers, while [[Special:RenderPage/An Article]] is an internal link.
