New page

{{Template doc|<nowiki>subst=subst:</nowiki>}}
produces the name for the current page
as if it were to be called as a template name.

This template is similar to {{FULLPAGENAME}} except that if the page
is
* in the Template namespace, the namespace is omitted.
* in the Main namespace, it starts with a colon (<code>:</code>).

It allows the page to be referenced in <code>{{</code> transclusions <code>}}</code>.

The name always starts with a space,
as a workaround to a mediawiki limitation. (See source for details.)
This space can normally be ignored or stripped for most uses.

; subst : (optional) fully evaluate during substitution, if called like:
<pre>
{{subst:pagename as template|subst=subst:}}
</pre>

{{Demo table|
{{Demo row|<nowiki>"{{pagename as template}}"</nowiki>|"{{pagename as template}}"}}
}}
