As a brand-new MW admin, my understanding is that the MediaWiki: namespace has various protected special pages that might make my admin task easier. But a search on "MediaWiki:" didn't turn up any titles, nor can I find any other entry points to such pages. (I am operating with full "sysop" access.) Am I misunderstanding something? Is most of the administration currently done via mysql and editing .php files?
