{{PD Help Page}} MediaWiki '''variables''' are strings of text that output as information such as time, site details, or page names. ==Parsing== The syntax of most variables is similar to [[Help:Templates|templates]], but capitalized to help avoid conflicts. If a template has the same name and case as a variable, the variable will be used. Usage of the template can be forced by adding the "msg:" modifier (for example, "<code><nowiki>{{msg:CURRENTYEAR}}</nowiki></code>"). Page-dependent variables will return data about the currently-viewed page, regardless of whether the variable is in the page code or a transcluded template. ==Variables== ===Date & time=== The following variables return the current date and time according to the user's timezone [[Special:Preferences|preferences]], defaulting to the UTC timezone. Due to MediaWiki and browser caching, these variables frequently show when the page was ''cached'' rather than the current time. {| {{prettytable}} |- !{{Hl2}}| Variable !{{Hl2}}| Output !{{Hl2}}|

For example, some installations might find it helpful to have a variable that identifies the name of the sponsoring organization or the portion of the wiki URL that precedes the title if it is liable to change or more complex than <code><nowiki>http://{{SERVERNAME}}</nowiki></code>.
