Below are the MediaWiki pages related to Special:ExpandTemplates (mw:Extension:ExpandTemplates). Defaults are not shown; they can be found at Special:Allmessages.

This [[Help:Special page|special page]] takes some text and expands all [[Help:Template|template]]s in it recursively. It also expands [[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions|parser functions]] like <code><nowiki>{{#if:...}}</nowiki></code>, and [[mw:Help:Magic_words#Variables|variables]] like <code><nowiki>{{CURRENTDAY}}</nowiki></code>&mdash;in fact pretty much everything in double-braces. It does this by calling the relevant parser stage from MediaWiki itself. One can't supply values for template parameters (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki></code>)."
