MediaWiki:Expand templates intro
Appearance
This special page takes some text and expands all templates in it recursively. It also expands parser functions like {{#if:...}}
, and variables like {{CURRENTDAY}}
—in fact pretty much everything in double-braces. It does this by calling the relevant parser stage from MediaWiki itself. One can't supply values for template parameters (e.g. {{{1}}}
).
