		+	I don't think the name for this page is appropriate. None of these are are "secret" pages per se, even according to the criteria listed on [[Secret Pages]]. They ''are'' linked to on the site, albeit not in a way that is visibile to end users — but they are the source used to generate the respective features. I think we should use XML source as ELCool suggested above. (Even though they are ''not'' XML files ... also already noted above).
