Extension:Header Footer pass a parameter to its corresponding hf-header- page

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be good to pass a parameter to the corresponding hf-header/footer-
page.
Example: I use the User namespace and would like to include the username
(pagename without ns prefix) as parameter on the f-header/footer- page just
as I would do with templates.

Have you considered using parser functions? You could use conditional statements
(e.g. #if) to express what you need IMO.

I'm not experienced enough :( I know what I want, but cannot code it.

I mean I can call the username by using {{BASEPAGENAME}} on the page. that way 
I can
create static links but no database call like number of user edits, lost login 
etc as
i described here
