The MyVariables extension adds new built-in variables:

Variable Description Sample
{{currentuser}} Login of current user or the IP for anonymous users. "Pastakhov" or "x.x.x.x"
{{currentloggeduser}} Login of current user or empty for anonymous users. "Pastakhov" or ""
{{currentuserrealname}} Real name of current user. "Pavel Astakhov"

{{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 ""
