Usage

[edit]
  • {{#pageincategory: 'category' }}
returns 'true' if the current page is categorised with 'category'
  • {{#pagenumcategories:}}
returns the number of categories found for the current page.
  • {{#pagecategory: 'index' }}
returns the full name of the category at the given index number from the list of categories of the current page. Indexes start at 0.
  • {{#pagetitle: new title name }}

  • {{#pagesubtitle: text to be added to the page's subtitle }}
adds the given text to the displayed subtitle (the area where e.g. relocation information is usually displayed)
