{{PAGENAME}} | Variables | Displays name of page (without namespace) | |
{{PAGENAMEE}} | Variables | Same as PAGENAME, but formatted for an URL. |
Also, in templates, you can specify a variable in it with {{{VARNAME}}}.
Then, when the template is put onto another page, you can specify the variable as follows:
{{TEMPLATENAME | VARNAME = VALUE }}
which replaces the variable with VALUE. Note that if you name the variables {{{1}}},{{{2}}},{{{3}}}, etc. then you can specify the values without listing the variable names in the template call.
