<br />
== Usage ==<br />
{{important|Please use '''<nowiki>{{FULLPAGENAME:page name}}</nowiki>''' rather than <nowiki>{{FULLPAGENAME|page name}}</nowiki>, with a colon (":"), not a pipe symbol ("&#124;"). This uses the [[m:magic word|magic word]] directly instead of using the template to call the magic word.}}<br />
<br />
<nowiki>{{FULLPAGENAME}}</nowiki> is not actually a template but instead a [[Help:Magic words|magic word]], meaning it is a feature of the Wikimedia software. When used, it will return the name of the page it's on, including the namespace. As an example, when placed on this page, it returns {{FULLPAGENAME}}. When placed on [[Wikipedia:Village pump]], it will return {{FULLPAGENAME:Wikipedia:Village pump}}. It is possible to specify which pagename will appear by using a colon (not a pipe as is typical for templates). As an example, <nowiki>{{FULLPAGENAME:Wikipedia:Village pump}}</nowiki> returns {{FULLPAGENAME:Wikipedia:Village pump}}.<br />
<br />
There is actual template code here. The purpose of the template code is to ensure that if someone uses this [[Help:Magic words#Variables|magic word]] with a piped parameter, the template code will be invoked and it will not cause an error on the page. Parameter 1 will be used as the : parameter and other parameters will be discarded. This way, if someone mistakenly enters <nowiki>{{FULLPAGENAME|Wikipedia:Village pump}}</nowiki>, the template will change it to the correct <nowiki>{{FULLPAGENAME:Wikipedia:Village pump}}</nowiki>.<br />
<br />
When a user mistakenly includes a pipe in a <nowiki>{{FULLPAGENAME}}</nowiki> call, the template code will add the page to the hidden category [[:Category:Pages which use a template in place of a magic word]]. Pages in this category should be fixed by willing editors.<br />
