Thank you for making this more clear.

1) \startstandardmakeup is extensively used but not found in the wiki 
command reference. Why?


Because it is a derived command, and most/all of those are not
in the command reference yet (for example, neither is \startitemize,
which is derived from \defineitemgroup).

2) What \startstandardmakeup do then? And what is the purpose of 
defining custom makeups?


From the source (and I am positive this is also mentioned in the
big manual):

%D A makeup is a separate page, like a title page or colofon.
%D There is one standard makeup page, but you can define more
%D if needed.

As can be seen in

  http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/setupmakeup

it is a page type with a special layout / header & footer sections
that last only temporarily. The key point is that such a page
does not (have to) rely on the current page layout style, which
is especially useful for title pages.

Best wishes,
Taco

Hi,

I suspect that commands like this are often used for creating title

When given explanation, I want to wikify it.
