Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Get Page Name

Returns the name of the page. For example, if you were browsing the "foo" WP page, getPname() would return "foo".

function getPname() {
  z=document.getElementById("content").childNodes;
  for (var n=0;n<z.length;n++) { 
    if (z[n].className=="firstHeading") return z[n].textContent;
  };
}

/* This code may be problematic when it comes to titles with ampersands, etc, which are stored as ''& amp ;'' in HTML (without the spaces).
  A solution that solves this is the following:
    return document.title.substr(0, document.title.lastIndexOf(' - Wikipedia, the free'));
