`{{currentuserrealname}}`	Real name of current user.	"Pavel Astakhov"
`{{hitcounter}}`	Number of visits (hits) to the current page according to Extension:HitCounters or empty if the extension isn't installed.	"123" or ""
`{{logo}}`	Path to wiki logo.	"/w/skins/common/images/wiki.png"
`{{uuid}}`	Random (v4) UUID.	"65ba1a51-c723-4b9d-b1f3-13148d628322"
`{{userlanguagecode}}`	Language that the user specified in the preferences.	"en", "en-ca", "ru", etc.
`{{userregistration}}`	Timestamp of the date at which the user registered or empty if the page isn't a user page.	"20100809003006" or ""
`{{firstrevisionid}}`	ID of the first revision of the current page or empty if page isn't yet created.	"1" or ""
`{{firstrevisiontimestamp}}`	Timestamp of the first revision of the current page or empty if page isn't yet created.	"20100809003006" or ""
