Title of any page on Wikipedia
- Page name is a term for the title of any page on Wikipedia. A page is named for the convenience of linking to it by its title. It is shown on the title line, near the top, in large bold letters. On Wikipedia, a database stores all the pages, and so a page is also named for the convenience of a database query to get that page.

Terminology is an organization's way to communicate quickly. The terms "fullpagename" and "pagename" in italics specify the variable type, for example: 1. The statements: "Writing {{Template:pagename}} is redundant. Why use {{fullpagename}}, when {{pagename}}will suffice?" 1. The instructions: "Add a level 3 header (i.e. === [[Example title]] ===) ...
The terminology for referencing a subpage (and its parent page) is suggested by the MediaWiki software's {{SUBPAGENAME}} (and {{BASEPAGENAME}}).These can be a clear and concise way to talk about subpages.See where subpagename or basepagenameare used on pages. Subpagenames and subpage links are used to abbreviate linking and transclusion among close...
In the two virtual namespaces — Special and Media —the title line of the page is notthe fullpagename. Even with irregular titles, virtual pages are readily navigated, linked, and transcluded using namespace:pagename. 1. The title line of a Media page is File:pagename. (This title is only helpful in some cases.) 2. A Special page follows no such rul...
The magic word {{FULLPAGENAME}} renders the fullpagename of a page if inserted in the wikitext of a page. Now the fullpagename of a page will generally be the same as the page name (note the space in page name), and hence the page's title as explained earlier. The only time the fullpagename will differ from the page's title, is if the displayed tit...
The magic word {{PAGENAME}} renders the pagename(note there is no space in pagename) of a page if inserted in the wikitext of a page. As explained earlier, the fullpagename will be the same as pagename only if the page is in Main namespace (e.g. for encyclopedic articles); in other namespaces, fullpagename will be the same as 'namespace:pagename'.
The magic word {{NAMESPACE}} usually renders the namespace of a page if inserted in the wikitext of a page. The only time this doesn't happen is in Main namespace, where {{NAMESPACE}}will render a blank instead.
Subpages (except for article pages) are also rendered by these magic words. For example, for the page named Wikipedia:Userboxes/Media/Film, fullpagename would be Wikipedia:Userboxes/Media/Film, pagename would be Userboxes/Media/Film, and namespace would be Wikipedia.
As an example, for the article Notability: the page name, {{FULLPAGENAME}} and {{PAGENAME}} would be Notability; and {{NAMESPACE}} would be blank. And for the page Wikipedia:Notability: the page name and {{FULLPAGENAME}} would be Wikipedia:Notability; {{NAMESPACE}} would be Wikipedia; and {{PAGENAME}} would be Notability.
Adding an E to the end of these variables, like {{FULLPAGENAMEE}}, renders these variables encoded for use in MediaWiki URLs, i.e. with underscores replacing any spaces. Additional magic words for related variables include {{ARTICLEPAGENAME}}, {{ARTICLESPACE}}, {{BASEPAGENAME}}, {{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}, {{SUBJECTSPACE}}, {{SUBPAGENAME}}, {{TALKPAGENAME...
The normal usage of {{DISPLAYTITLE:Draft:Desired title}} will appear to work but it will stop working when the draft is accepted since the new page name will be Desired title instead of Draft:Desired title. The preferred way is to use templates (see above). If that is not practical, {{DISPLAYTITLE:{{NAMESPACE}}:Desired title}}works and will continu...
