Adding dynamic values

If you need to include variables or templates you should use the parser function to ensure they are properly parsed. This allows you to use Cargo or Semantic MediaWiki, with Page Forms, for data entry, or for programmatic creation of a page title from existing variables or content...

{{#seo:
 |title={{#if: {{{page_title|}}} | {{{page_title}}} | Welcome to WikiSEO}}
 |title_mode={{{title_mode|}}}
 |keywords={{{keywords|}}}
 |description={{{description|}}}
 |published_time={{REVISIONYEAR}}-{{REVISIONMONTH}}-{{REVISIONDAY2}}
}}

Hreflang Attributes

{{#seo:
 |hreflang_de-de=https://example.de/page
 |hreflang_nl-nl=https://example.nl/page-nl
 |hreflang_en-us=https://website.com/
}}

Will generate the following `<link>` elements:

<link rel="alternate" href="https://example.de/page" hreflang="de-de">
<link rel="alternate" href="https://example.nl/page-nl" hreflang="nl-nl">
