Actions are tools that work on a page or the whole wiki, but unlike macros do not add to the page content when viewing a page, but work on that page content. They either produce some output based on page contents (navigational actions like searching) or implement functions that are not related to viewing a page (like deleting or renaming a page).

There is a set of system-defined actions, which includes page editing; you can extend the set of known actions by your own ones. See HelpForDevelopers for more on that.

The following actions are added to the list of user-defined extension actions at the bottom of each page or other position defend on your selected theme. This happens to any mixed-case extension, for other actions (all lower-case) see the list further down this page. Some of these action might not be available for this wiki site.

• UploadFile: upload files to a page, see UploadFile for more details.
  
• DeletePage: Delete a page, after you confirmed it; deletion means a final backup copy is created and only then the page is deleted, i.e. you can revive the page later on (as long as the backups are not physically deleted).
  
• LikePages: list pages whose title starts or ends with the same WikiWord as the current page title.
  

The following is a list of internal actions that are used to implement the various menus and links at the top and bottom of pages, or supplement certain macros.
