Magic words

[edit] PAGENAMEE

A variable. Like PAGENAME but with full language expansion to URL safe coding; see US-ASCII. If used in multiply-nested template, will be expanded in the context of the page you're actually looking at (the highest level page in the template stack); this is likely true for all magic words.

Magic_words

[edit] NAMESPACE

A variable.

[edit] MSG:

A template modifier, i.e. {{msg:stub}} shows

{{Stub}}

---

The use of msg has an effect when a template name clashes with a magic word. For example, if [[Template:CURRENTMONTHNAME]] contained "Test", then {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} would display "February" but {{msg:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} would display "Test".

[edit] SUBST:

A template modifier. Replaces the reference to the template (e.g. {{subst:template}}) with the content of the template.

e.g. {{subst:stub}} copies the {{stub}} contents below to the article, without using the template.

This article is a stub. You can help Wikimedia by expanding it.

SUBST: can be helpful to avoid the overuse of meta-templates.

[edit] MSGNW:

A template modifier. Causes the template source to be pasted.

So <pre>{{msgnw:stub}}</pre> outputs:

---

{{msgnw:stub}}

---

[edit] __END__

Allows for trailing whitespace to be deliberately included in the page save.

[edit] INT:

A special template. Used for UI messages, works the same as "MediaWiki:".

{{INT:mainpage}} gives the content of MediaWiki:mainpage:
Main Page

[edit] SITENAME

A variable.
