MediaWiki: pages aren't special pages. That language variants bit doesn't apply
to special pages besides Special:AllMessages.

Prior special pages using subpages that are not titles:
- Special:Log/delete
- Special:Watchlist/edit
- Special:ListUsers/sysop
- Special:UserLogin/signup
etc...

Subpages are nothing new.
