So, I got a page’s front matter like so

```
---
title: Rapid Scaling® Weekly
permalink: /weekly/
description: Witty collections...
layout: page
---

```

Now, on a different page, somewhere else, I wanna access the variables in this page’s front matter, so I do

`{% assign newsletter_meta = site.pages | where: 'permalink', '/weekly/' %}`

then expect `{{ newsletter_meta.title }}` and `{{ newsletter_meta.oneliner_text }}` to return those values, instead blank… my question is how else do you call variables from one page into another?

The `newsletter_meta` variable is an array. Try `{{ newsletter_meta[0].title }}`.
