 # Custom Page Extensions
 
-Aimed at modules like [@next/mdx](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/next-mdx), which adds support for pages ending with `.mdx`. You can configure the extensions looked for in the `pages` directory when resolving pages.

-## Including non-page files in the `pages` directory
+For example, if you reconfigure `.ts` page extensions to `.page.ts`, you would need to rename pages like `_app.page.ts`.
 
-To colocate test files, generated files, or other files used by components in the `pages` directory, you can prefix the extensions with something like `page`.

-Without this config, Next.js assumes every tsx/ts/jsx/js file in the `pages` directory is a page or API route, and may expose unintended routes vulnerable to denial of service attacks, or throw an error like the following when building the production bundle:
-
-```
-Build error occurred
-Error: Build optimization failed: found pages without a React Component as default export in
-pages/MyPage.generated
-pages/MyPage.test

-See https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/page-without-valid-component for more info.

+Then, rename your pages to have a file extension that includes `.page` (e.g. rename `MyPage.tsx` to `MyPage.page.tsx`). Ensure you rename _all_ Next.js pages, including the files mentioned above.
