This template facilitates the displaying of Wikipedia variables and built-in "magic word" (i.e. pseudo-template) names and, optionally, their :parameters. The variable/magic-word names are automatically uppercased:
{{wikivar|PAGENAME}} and {{wikivar|pagename}} both produce: {{PAGENAME}}
The second parameter supplied will be treated as the variable or magic word's parameter/s. For example:
To indicate text is a variable name. Use for any variable names except those including "I" (uppercase i) and/or "l" (lowercase L); for these, {{varserif}} should be used to ensure a noticeable distinction.
To display parameters as used in code (i.e. with triple braces), especially to indicate relationships between them. May be combined with {{para}} above.
(or {{dc}} ) To indicate deprecated source code in template documentation, articles on HTML specs, etc. The {{dc2}} variant uses strike-through (<blink>) while {{dc|red{{=}}y}} uses red (<blink>).
