PAGESINCATEGORY doesn't work on my site.
I cannot seem to get the PAGESINCATEGORY magic word to work. My wiki treats it like its a Template.

Is there a setting that needs to be set somewhere to make it work? My Wiki Version is 1.13.1

I note that it works here: =

Q/ doesn't work on my wiki. You'v got any idea ?

TOC - hide contents
is there a possibility to hide the content at starting up the page? i saw that it is made with a nice little java script.

Page name of transcluded page
Is there a way to automatically display the name of a page that has been transcluded into another page? If I use the or  magic words, I get the name of the page into which it has been transcluded. For example, if Example/subpage is transcluded into Example, they will show "Example", but what I want to display is "Example/subpage", so I can see what subpage is being used. Can this be done without hardcoding the name? RL0919 22:19, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No; you'll need to hardcode the name into the subtemplate to get it to stay static. Happy ‑ melon 23:39, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * This JS code has been proposed as a gadget for that. JackPotte 21:57, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Page name: keeping only the main title of the sub-page name
Hello. Is it possible to discard one part between brackets from a sub-page name, keeping only the main title? Example: keeping only “Foo” from “Title/Foo (bar)” Thanks. 200.163.4.66 14:59, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Not really; you could hack something up with ParserFunctions and/or StringFunctions. Happy ‑ melon 23:12, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * OK

tagname
Can this page link to some explanation of what "tagname" means in the #tag: function? Better yet, a specific example? Wnt 09:44, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

PAGENAME for pages with underscore
The tz database contains identifiers containing an underscore. Templates, e.g. store data to make it accessible via includes.
 * en:Template:tz/country code
 * en:Template:tz/comments
 * en:Template:tz/coordinates

Works fine at But not at
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia/Omsk
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America/Santa_Isabel

Any magic word that can deliver the name with underscores, as in the URL?

 * Check the functions listed under Help:Magic words. Hamilton Abreu 01:32, 13 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I see nothing that would output "America/Santa_Isabel". I also tried whether would return its value - it does not. TimeCurrency 14:50, 13 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Misunderstood the question. Appending "E" to the magic word name should achieve the desired result:
 *   &rarr;
 *   &rarr;
 *   &rarr;
 *   &rarr;
 * Sorry about that. Hamilton Abreu 15:46, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
