Office 365 - SharePoint - Hidden or Secret URLs

Microsoft hides many URLs that can be valuable to any SharePoint or O365 administrator. However note as always that you should test all the following links in your test or dev environment.

So here is a list of very informative URLs "hidden" in SharePoint.
Just substitute your site collection URL for http://intranet.contoso.com, http://siteurl, or http://yourservername/sites/yoursite/
