This is a list of '''variables''' that can be used in the wikitext. The way they are rendered depends on the time, on the project, or on the page in which it occurs.

On the left is the variable, on the right how it is rendered at this time, in this project, on this page.
All pages can be put into a category if the following text is included at the bottom of the page:


==Constant, only depending on the project and parameters==
<pre>[[Category:Some Important Things]]</pre>

==Varying with time==
[[Special:Categories]]


<table>
and an example of a sorted category page is here:
<tr><td><nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTH}}</nowiki>
<td>{{CURRENTMONTH}}
<tr><td><nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}</nowiki>
<td>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}
<tr><td><nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN}}</nowiki>

<td>{{CURRENTYEAR}}
<tr><td><nowiki>{{CURRENTTIME}}</nowiki>
<td>{{CURRENTTIME}}
<tr><td><nowiki>{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}</nowiki>
<td>{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}
</table>


NUMBEROFARTICLES: number of pages in the main namespace which contain a link and are not a redirect, i.e. number of articles, stubs containing a link, and disambiguation pages.
[[:Category:Ionization]]
You can link directly to the category listing by including the following anywhere in the page (note the full colon at the left):


This depends on system variable $wgUseCommaCount  If true, article count will only include those with commas (","). If false, will only count those with links ("[["). The default set in [[DefaultSettings.php]] is false, this can be changed in [[LocalSettings.php]].
<pre>[[:Category:Ionization]]</pre>


==Depending on page==


{|
= Templates Specific to the MS Terms Wiki =
|<nowiki>{{NAMESPACE}}</nowiki>
|{{NAMESPACE}}
|-
|<nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>
|{{PAGENAME}}
|-
|<nowiki>{{PAGENAMEE}}</nowiki>
|{{PAGENAMEE}}
|}


PAGENAMEE displays the page title in the form that is used in URLs, i.e. with underscores for spaces, and escape codes for special characters, and is therefore used for constructing URLs. For example, on a page called "Another test", PAGENAMEE would produce "Another'''_'''test" rather than "Another test". See also [[Help:Page_name#Variables_.7B.7BPAGENAME.7D.7D_and_.7B.7BPAGENAMEE.7D.7D|<nowiki>Variables {{PAGENAME}} and {{PAGENAMEE}}</nowiki>]]
If you want the same stuff on different pages, you can use a template. The templates are special Wiki pages and can be edited in the same way. They will also take arguments like subroutines. Here are some templates for this Wiki:


When used in a [[template]], these three variables refer to the page in which the template is included, not to the template page.

==Examples of combinations==


<table>
= Wiki Variables =
<tr><td><nowiki>{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAMEE}}|</nowiki>action=edit<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
<td>{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAMEE}}|action=edit}}
<tr><td><nowiki>{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Special:Whatlinkshere|target={{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAMEE}}}}</nowiki><td>{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Special:Whatlinkshere|target={{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAMEE}}}}
<tr><td><nowiki>[[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAMEE}}_1]]</nowiki>
<td>[[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAMEE}}_1]]
<tr><td><nowiki>{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAMEE}}_1}}</nowiki>
<td>{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAMEE}}_1}}
</table>


Here on Meta, due to [[Template:UTC]], <nowiki>{{UTC}}</nowiki> produces: {{UTC}}
The Wiki used by this site has some special variables that depend on the page. The way they are rendered depends on the time, on the project, or on the page in which it occurs. The link below contains a list of '''variables''' that can be used in the wikitext.


In a template, for a link to a page which depends on a template parameter, the external link style is used even for internal links, to avoid that the system links to the edit page even if the page exists. To construct the external link, variables can also be useful.
