This crazy meta-template will query another template for its nav index or name based on the current {{PAGENAME}} value. Optionally, it can also provide the next and previous name/index values based on the same criteria.
Usage
{{getCurrPage-lookup|template-name|[name=alternative name]|[prev=1]|[next=1]}}
Expected Input Template Parameter Format
We expect the template to take the following parameters:
{{template-name|idxorname(to lookup)|[n=1]}}
The optional n=1 parameter determines whether the lookup is by index or by name:
{{template-name|idx}}
This returns a full (or sometimes partial) page name value based on its nav index. Also,
{{template-name|name|n=1}}
Would return a nav index value based on a Page Name.
