Obtain logged user user-name

I want to re-ask a question from Subfader that is not solved in
Mediawiki.org

As he says:

"~~~ will link to your profile
"But how about a code that returns your user name as plain text so i can
use it for codes and links?"

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help_talk:Magic_words#User.27s_User_Name.3F

I my case I want to obtain the current logged user user-name to use it
as default content with a SemanticForms form. It's there a variable or
some way to obtain it?
"~~~" doesn't work in this case.

Thanks in advance.

Dvdgmz.

Do you want it in an extension? If you do how about $wgUser->getName();

I haven't seen any way for wiki text to automatically give you a username that isn't a link.

Good luck!

I want it in wikitext to use as default value in a SF form.

Definitively it's not any way to get it?
