PAGENAMEBASE
Template documentation
 |
This template is used on a very large number of pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
Usage
This template returns the current {{PAGENAME}} minus (text in parentheses) or the final set of parentheses where more than one set exist.
e.g. {{PAGENAMEBASE}} on page Chiton (genus) returns Chiton
- on Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (album) returns Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
- on Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) returns Sweet Dreams
- on Stadion der Freundschaft (Frankfurt (Oder)) returns Stadion der Freundschaft
Can also pass an optional page parameter:
{{PAGENAMEBASE|foo (bar)}}→ "foo"{{PAGENAMEBASE|foo bar}}→ "foo bar"
It is not to be confused with {{BASEPAGENAME}}, which is a magic word that strips subpages, not parentheses.
