BASEPAGENAME and SUBPAGENAME do not output properly
I am running an installation of Mediawiki 1.11.0, and I cannot get  to output the appropriate page name. If the page is called "title/foo", it is supposed to output "title", but instead I get "title/foo". Same output with. Would appreciate some help... --Wikitonic 18:37, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Set $wgNamespacesWithSubpages to true for the namespaces where you want to use these templates. (It's better to ask these questions on Project:Support desk.) i Alex  08:17, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

User's User Name?
will link to your profile: Subfader But how about a code that returns your user name as plain text so i can use it for codes and links? --Subfader 11:05, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Section name
Is there any variable (or extension that enables it) which returns the current section name? Would be useful for manually inserting edit links. 193.62.111.10 09:47, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Sync?
I have added a few that seemed to have been missed, like filepath and pagesize, but when about to add #special, I saw that #language and #tag aren't listed here, but are on m:Help:Magic_words. Should I add them? They are ptechnically parser functions, but so are many of the one listed here already. The definition of parser function vs variable is a bit hazy, so separating them isn't terribly easy. Here are all the (as of r33875) defined core parser functions:

Should all of these either all be included, or all moved to Help:Parser functions? Splarka 23:10, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I think including them on this page would be better, so it's easier to reference or look something up. Maybe add a "Parser function" section? — Pathoschild 08:37:53, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

shows a wrong number
Hi,

I use  in the main page of my site. at the moment in the name space I have about 20 articles but just says ten.

I have:
 * 1)  MediaWiki: 1.11.0
 * 2) PHP: 5.2.4 (cgi)

how could that be fixed?

thanks,
