 | 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 w:Chiton
- on Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (album) returns w:Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
- on Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) returns w:Sweet Dreams
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.
