Forum:PAGENAME

Hello. It's come to my attention regarding the use of the magic word in templates. I'm bringing this arguement out in the open so no one begins to edit war or there's an actual conflict to occur. At any rate, if I were to put my two cents in, I would say that PAGENAME should not be used templates for three main reasons: Now, I would like to hear other opinions on this matter. – Wattz  2000  12:38, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) PAGENAME is just shortening minor code that can be easily added in. There is no real reason to use this rather than a simple code for the parameter of the infobox. In my opinion. It seems sloppy to me and, iirc, I used PAGENAME before in articles, and was reverted by the administration of the MarioWiki wiki...
 * 2) In addition, PAGENAME could be default yes. But many articles (when things begin to shape up further ^^) will begin to feature parentheses/brackets which don't fly too well with PAGENAME. Although, yes, if the page was like that, one would just need to use the name parameter still there, but to be honest, I shouldn't need to bother. : 3
 * 3) Lastly, PAGENAME is a magic word basically. I understand why it's in the infobox, but personnally, since a lot of pages already use the name parameter, there's not much point to use it. It just comes off like laziness to me, but that's just me.
