https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#Variables {{CURRENTYEAR}}, {{CURRENTMONTH}], etc. - possibly a pop-up inserter with a brief description of what each do (and their current value?)
Feel like taking this on? It'd be a step towards fixing bug 50855 in general… Big fun challenge. :-)
So we need to: * Alter TemplateData to provide documentation for magic words * Add extra field to template insert dialog for the addition of magic words.
Actually, maybe we should just have VE query api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=magicwords, then load a documentation message for it in the given language.

Apparently some of the magic words involving 'colon arguments' will need Parsoid/VE DM support.
