Template:Pagename as template

The template {{Pagename as template|subst=subst:}} produces the name for the current page as if it were to be called as a template name.

This template is similar to Template:Pagename as template except that if the page is

• in the Template namespace, the namespace is omitted.
• in the Main namespace, it starts with a colon (:).

It allows the page to be referenced in {{ transclusions }}.

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:

{{subst:pagename as template|subst=subst:}}

"{{pagename as template}}"
