These are all "service pages", in the sense that they don't contain
user-contributed content.

There should be some way to mark such pages as special. Be it by moving 
them into a specific (sub-)group, setting an attribute, or whatever. 
(I'm sick of specifying $PageSearchPattern whenever a new special page 
is introduced - we don't have a proliferation of groups, but we do have 
a proliferation of special pages, and it isn't pretty either.)
