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. More information about this page can be found.
