These are not variables in the sense of being "user definable".  The user has no control over the content of the variable.  The term ''variable'' has another wiki code meaning, particularly in templates.  If one wishes to elicit a response from a user in a template, such as by requesting the input of a director's name on an infobox, one would use a variable such as {{{Director}}}.  Note that in wiki syntax, a user-defined variable is indicated by three curly braces {{{variable}}}, not two.

It should also be pointed out that these are not the ''only'' variable magic words that exist.  Consult the standard Wikia chart at the bottom of this page for more.
