MediaWiki allows us to build dynamic pages through the use of templates and variables. The code, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} produces: * 30 2018 The code {{Q}} produces: * 2018// Q is a convenience for weekly things such as current events. It uses the year/week/dayname format. It is made from: * {{CURRENTYEAR}}/{{CURRENTWEEK}}/{{CURRENTDAYNAME}} We're going to make another template, Queue that auto-generates the 11 July 2006 format. * [[{{Q}}|{{Queue}}]] Now we have a page: * [[]] in the Main Namespace here at Perl Wiki. talk | next
