Variant name is a scoped name -- a string literal -- of a topic. Scope is a set of topics that describes the type of the variant name. Usually scope contains two topics, one is used to specify the language of the variant name and the other the type of the variant name. This convention is supported by Wandora also. Wandora views variant names in a name matrix by default. Matrix rows represent name type and columns languages (or the other way, depending on your Wandora settings). Below is a screen capture of Wandora's traditional topic panel viewing variant names of a '''Role''' topic.

But what happens if variant's scope is not a binary set? Wandora doesn't view such variant names by default. To view all variant names of a topic (regardless the scope), Wandora user must right click the title of '''Variant names''' box in topic panel and select menu option '''View > View all scopes'''.
