Revision as of 12:09, 1 March 2022 by Wikipedia>Jonesey95 (add transclusionless template to keep this page off of reports)
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:BASEPAGENAME and other similar templates. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Never write {{BASEPAGENAME|argument}}. Write {{BASEPAGENAME:argument}} instead. |
 | This template may have no transclusions, because it is substituted by a tool or script, it is used as part of a short-term or less active Wikipedia process, or for some other reason. |
Usage
The magic word BASEPAGENAME is described at Wikipedia:Magic words#Variables. An example of its output is {{BASEPAGENAME:Template:Example/with/subpages}} → "Example/with".
This template should never be used, but when someone uses the magic word "BASEPAGENAME" with a piped parameter, it will prevent breakage. Parameter 1 will be used as the : parameter, other parameters will be discarded.
The page will be added to the hidden category Category:Pages which use a template in place of a magic word (0).
