== Variables ==
MediaWiki includes a number of variables, which are auto-populated by the software each time the page is loaded. Here are some variables which can be useful, especially in the design of a template. Variables are entered with double braces on each side. They are show this way bellow, allthough by the strictest definition, the braces are not part of the variable tag.<br />
In every-day writing, these variables are not likely to be used.
===Site variables===
Probably some of the least useful variables are site variables. Unless someone is designing a template for multiple wikis, these probably will not be used.
