Description MZMcBride 2008-12-19 22:27:14 UTC 
For consistency's sake, all magic words and parser functions should be able to be preceded by a #. While we obviously can't go back in time and add consistency, add aliases seems perfectly acceptable.

Examples include {{PAGENAME}} --> {{#PAGENAME}}, {{lc:Foo}} --> {{#lc:Foo}}, etc.

I think Behavior switches should stay as they are. And there should be a variable for a compatibility mode so that the old can be switched off, so when a wiki does not want use the old style anymore it can be disabled
Comment 4 DaSch 2010-02-18 15:11:13 UTC 
maybe there could be different parserfunctions
for example like
{{#page:name}} = {{PAGENAME}}
{{#page:name|url}} = {{PAGENAMEE}}
{{#page:namespace}} = {{NAMESPACE}}
{{#page:talk}} = {{TALKPAGENAME}}

and

{{#server:url}} = {{SERVER}}
{{#server:version}} = {{CURRENTVERSION}}

just an idea, but I think that this is a good idea to create a parserfunction for every variable and give the possibility to disable variables
