{{Short description|Wikipedia information page}}
'''Page information''' shows information about a page on Wikipedia. A link to "Page information" is in the Tools panel of the sidebar. On the mobile site, first click "Desktop" at the bottom, or add <code>?action=info</code> to the URL. Registered users can also enable [[mw:Reading/Web/Advanced mobile contributions|advanced mode]] in [[Special:MobileOptions|mobile settings]] and then click on three dots. Some of the below fields only appear for pages where relevant information is available.

== Lint errors ==
This information section shows results from scanning the page for [[Wikipedia:Linter|Lint errors]]. These are detected by the [[:mw:Help:Extension:Linter|Extension:Linter]] program.

== Header and footer ==
When viewing page information, the wiki software can show additional custom text at the start and end of the page.

The top of the information page (before the first section for "Basic information") comes from [[MediaWiki:Pageinfo-header]]. It is blank by default, but individual wikis can add content here. For example, on English Wikipedia, the header is used to create a table of contents.

The bottom of the information can be customised via [[MediaWiki:Pageinfo-footer]]. It is blank by default but can be set at each wiki. For example, on English Wikipedia, it is used to create an additional section "External tools".
