Meta pages are pages not core to your content, but function as a way to configure your Spaces. You can think of them as “tooling” pages.
The most obvious example is SETTINGS, which is not really a page that you care about day-to-day, but only want to tweak when you’re working on your space as a tool.
Templates are other examples. If you use Space Script or Space Style, you may want to put those on separate pages and tag them as #meta as well, so they don’t mingle with your main content.
How are meta pages identified?
Meta pages at a technical level are Pages like any other, the only technical difference is that they are either tagged with #template or #meta. This is picked up by the Page Picker and Meta Picker.
How do you link to meta pages?
You can link to a meta page like any other page, that is using the [[page name]] syntax. However, in the context of regular content, meta pages will not appear in auto complete. To get auto completion for meta pages, you can use the [[^page name]] caret syntax. More information: Links#Caret page links.
