Editing Help:Transclusion (section)

===Magic words===
{{Main|Help:Magic words}}
Magic words are not examples of transclusion. But some have a near identical double curly bracket syntax and similar action to transclusion. For example, <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="">{{FULLPAGENAME}}</syntaxhighlight> renders the full [[Wikipedia:Page name|page name]] of any Wikipedia page, for example it returns {{Mono|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}} on this page. Like templates, some magic words can also take parameters, which are separated using a colon (<code>:</code>); for example <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="">{{TALKPAGENAME:Help:Transclusion}}</syntaxhighlight> returns {{Mono|{{TALKPAGENAME:Help:Transclusion}}}}. 

Templates do exist for some magic words, for example [[Template:FULLPAGENAME]]; but these just invoke the related magic word and pass parameters using the verticle bar (<code>|</code>) to the magic word in anycase; for example like <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="">{{FULLPAGENAME|value}}</syntaxhighlight>. But magic words parameters are best passed directly by using a colon, which bypasses the unnecessary use of a template call too. For example, <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="">{{FULLPAGENAME|value}}</syntaxhighlight> is synonymous with <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="">{{FULLPAGENAME:value}}</syntaxhighlight>, where the latter is preferred.
