Forum:How do I make something like the PAGENAME

How do I make something like, where is it, Mediawiki? Tell me where it is and/or more.
 * You can't make it. It is one of the preprogrammed things with MediaWiki. ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 21:09, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Do I have to ask special:contact?Funkey100 (talk) 21:14, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * You can't make them. They are not what Wikia makes. They are what MediaWiki makes, I think. ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 21:17, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know, thats why i'm tring to put it in mediawiki.Funkey100 (talk) 21:27, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok. MediaWiki is an organization of sorts. It is what powers a lot of wikis, Wikia and Wikipedia included. That is just a way to change the format of that wiki. You can not change MediaWiki, just use what MediaWiki gives users the ability to do. Common.css is just a way of you using MediaWiki and you can't add anything MediaWiki doesn't allow. ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 21:32, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

So, is there any way to contact mediawiki?Funkey100 (talk) 21:36, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, Here's there website. ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 21:42, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Take note that even if you make them add something, wich i think is very unlikely (sorry), it will take time before Wikia wikis gets updated to the version of the software that include that new feature.
 * Dont get me wrong. I would love too that new usefulls features get added to the software. But since you didn't even care to shared what is on your mind with us... We can't even comment the idea.
 * Or, we can't even tell you how to do what you want to do using another way, method. — TulipVorlax 02:38, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

PAGENAME is an inbult system 'variable', that can be used by templates - See mediwiki help for details. They are actually special fixed values set up in the system code and new ones can be added to a mediawiki installation by the sites management which on here is Wikia Inc. As this is the Core code it is very unlucky they would change the 'system' for you IMO, or as TulipVorlax asks, are you actually on about a creating a template for something else, as your post is rather vague as to purpose of 'making' something like. - BulldozerD11 16:20, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Simple, when you put, you get. And I don't get This page Funkey100 (talk) 19:11, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Help:Templates. 19:58, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Create a page called Template:Categories, enter  . Why wouldn't that suffice? --BramTalk/IGW 21:14, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

no, itried Funkey100 (talk) 23:51, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * May we see where you tried this and on wich page/category it doesn't work as expected ?
 * I've tested it myself on this page. — TulipVorlax 00:03, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

see, it won't work Funkey100 (talk) 00:31, May 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have to disagree here.
 * It work perfectly as intended.
 * Maybe not as you want it to, but since you're giving so few information about what you're trying to achive here...
 * When you changed the value of the parameter to "templates", the test page has change from the category i've set it to to the new one.
 * If you didn't see it change, maybe, it's because most things on Wikia are chached on the server.
 * Category changes in templates doesn't change it instatly on all pages that use the template.
 * Purging pages chache can help make changes show up properly.

 * Funkey100 could you tell me which part of the template doesn't work? What's the output you expected but didn't get? I tested it myself now and it worked exactly as you wanted it: it added the page under the given category with exactly as when you would use . Be more specific, otherwise we can't help you. --BramTalk/IGW 08:59, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
