PAGENAMEBASE
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]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.
