When you enclose certain codes in double curly braces, you get all sorts of interesting results:
{{PAGENAME}} - the title of current page, with regular spaces between each word of it
- Curly braces
{{localurl:{{PAGENAME}}}} - a fragment of the URL that refers to the page you put the code in (note that the page title has underscores between each word)
