# $CurrentPage

A global merge field type to use when referencing the current Visualforce page or page request.

## Usage

Use this global variable in a Visualforce page to reference the current page name (`$CurrentPage.Name`) or the URL of the current page (`$CurrentPage.URL)`. Use `$CurrentPage.parameters.parameterName` to reference page-request parameters and values, where _parameterName_ is the request parameter being referenced. _parameterName_ isn't case-sensitive.

## Example

<!-- otherprops: apex_page -->
```markup
<apex:page standardController="Account">
    <apex:pageBlock title="Hello {!$User.FirstName}!">
        You belong to the {!account.name} account.<br/>
        You're also a nice person.
    </apex:pageBlock>
    <apex:detail subject="{!account}" relatedList="false"/>
    <apex:relatedList list="OpenActivities" 
        subject="{!$CurrentPage.parameters.relatedId}"/> 
</apex:page>
```
