Additional notes

 * Special:ExpandTemplates - This is a special page that has two input boxes, one to enter wikitext, and another one to enter a page name. It produces in the   window the expanded wikitext, i.e., templates, parser functions, and variables are expanded recursively; variables depending on page name are expanded based on the supplied page name.  This is an intermediate result before a page is rendered after saving or pressing   (or the resulting wikitext is submitted to other processing), helpful in understanding and debugging wikitext expansion.
