Description DarsVaeda 2007-08-23 22:02:33 UTC 
<wikicode>
[[Wikipedia:{{PAGENAME}}|]]
</wikicode>

results in unparsed plain text while PAGENAME is "Stonehenge" instead of a link to Wikipedia (in this example):

<output>
[[Wikipedia:Stonehenge|]]
</output>

(but thats for any other page name too)
Comment 1 Rob Church 2007-08-23 22:36:10 UTC 
I would imagine this is because the "pipe trick" (e.g. the [[Foo|]] behaviour) is dealt with during the pre-save transform, whereas {{PAGENAME}} isn't expanded until parse time.
Comment 2 Danny B. 2007-08-24 01:30:18 UTC 
Use direct notation:

[[Wikipedia:{{PAGENAME}}|{{PAGENAME}}]]
Comment 3 Casey Brown 2007-08-24 01:37:26 UTC 
You can expand.  [[Wikipedia:NAME|]] is just a shortuct, you can use [[Wikipedia:NAME|NAME]]
