Name
page - the type of every page outside a collection
Every Markdown file that is not an item of a collection is a page: the landing page, an about page, the page of a collection that holds its list, the 404 page. The type adds nothing to what a page writes. It has no settings, gives no card to any list and writes no feed.
Front matter
A page states everything itself: man, title, description, tagline and nav are all written in its front matter, since there is no collection to take them from. Every key of writing pages applies.

man: MYSITE-ABOUT(7)
title: About
description: Who writes this site and why, and how to reach them.
tagline: who, why and how to write
nav: about

What the type does
- Layout. The theme's
layouts/page.htmlif it has one, elselayout.html; a page'slayout:key picks another (layouts). - Card. None: a page never appears in a list.
- Structured data. A
WebPagenode, with the page's title and description, part of the site'sWebSite(SEO). - Open Graph.

A theme may replace the type, like any built-in one, by shipping a module named page in theme/types/ (types of your own).
