  Wikispaces Variables allow you to use dynamic content in your pages. That is, the content you create using variables is automatically updated to reflect some underlying information, like the number of pages in your space or the current date.\\ \\ Variables can be used anywhere in the Wikitext, and are replaced with their values when the page is displayed. Variables take the form {$VARIABLENAME} and can optionally be modified with a modifier in the form {$VARIABLENAME|MODIFIERNAME}.\\ \\ Variables are particularly useful when used with [[include page="..."]] and [[http://www.wikispaces.com/help#templates| templates] to create customized default pages, common headers and footers, or other dynamic pages.\\ \\ Note: Since pages are sometimes cached after being created, some items, such as the number of pages in the space, may not be updated immediately.\\ \\

Introduction
Wikispaces Variables allow you to use dynamic content in your pages. That is, the content you create using variables is automatically updated to reflect some underlying information, like the number of pages in your space or the current date.\\ \\  Variables can be used anywhere in the Wikitext, and are replaced with their values when the page is displayed. Variables take the form {$VARIABLENAME} and can optionally be modified with a modifier in the form {$VARIABLENAME|MODIFIERNAME}.\\ \\  Variables are particularly useful when used with include page="..." and [templates to create customized default pages, common headers and footers, or other dynamic pages.\\ \\  Note: Since pages are sometimes cached after being created, some items, such as the number of pages in the space, may not be updated immediately.\\ \\ 
Examples
Template
This example is for a simple product review template header that inserts the product name based on the page name, the reviewer and date of the review. It can be saved as a template available for new pages.\\ 
 =Product Review=
 Item Name: {$page}
 Product Website: [url}
 Reviewed By: {$revisioneditor}
 Reviewed On: {$revisiondate}
Last Edit Footer
This is a snippet of wikitext that can be included in a footer at the bottom of the page to show information about the last revision of the page.\\
