This template is used on approximately 1,670,000 pages, or roughly 3% of all pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Module:String (sandbox)

Usage

[edit]

This template returns the current {{PAGENAME}} minus (text in parentheses) or the final set of parentheses where more than one set exist.

e.g. {{PAGENAMEBASE}} on page Chiton (genus) returns Chiton

on Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (album) returns Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

on Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) returns Sweet Dreams

on Stadion der Freundschaft (Frankfurt (Oder)) returns Stadion der Freundschaft

Can also pass an optional page parameter:

{{PAGENAMEBASE|foo (bar)}} → "foo"
{{PAGENAMEBASE|foo bar}} → "foo bar"

It is not to be confused with {{BASEPAGENAME}}, which is a magic word that strips subpages, not parentheses.
