There should be header and footer messages for MediaWiki's info action. These can be blank by default, though it may make sense to have some standard text for the header. Something along the lines of "This is an overview about the specified page title."

MediaWiki message or perhaps with magic words such as {{PAGENAME}} or
{{FULLPAGENAMEE}} or whatever. I'm not sure if magic words currently work with
Since the title is being passed cleanly (there's no Special page prefix or anything), I don't think getting {{FULLPAGENAME}} and other magic words to work as expected should be much trouble. That would be the simplest and sanest solution, I think, rather than using numbered variables (such as $1) as some other MediaWiki messages do.
Removing patch-in-gerrit keyword for the moment. I don't see a relevant Gerrit link on this bug.

Incidentally, tested with an external links section in the footer and magic words worked perfectly. Yay for sane defaults!
