A variable is called in the form of a template (one without parameters). Variables often refer to specific aspects of the respective page or the wiki, or to time and date variables.
| Date | |||
| {{CURRENTDAY}} | 22 | Displays day | |
| {{CURRENTYEAR}} | 2024 | Displays year | |
| {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} | November | Displays month | |
| {{CURRENTTIME}} | 02:14 | Displays time | |
| {{CURRENTHOUR}} | 02 | Displays hour | |
| Page Info | |||
| {{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.
