I have a template that is associated with a page. However, it is not in the node list. How do I find out the node ID dynamically?

and how do I output that so I can see the actual ID?

It does not. My problem is that I am calling an attribute {$page.node_id} which every node should have. But it returns null. Where's the issue?
Only page nodes have the page.node_id variable.
For the avoidance of doubt, this is a page node: https://xenforo.com/community/pages/example-page/

ok, if it's not a page, what is it, because it looks like a page.
how can I refer to this "something" then, because I need the ID of it for some other function
I don't know what the 'something' is so I can't offer any more advice.
Templates have names, nodes have IDs.
Your initial post and subsequent posts in this thread don't really explain what it is you are doing, which node or template you are trying to do it on, or any other pertinent details.

It was not developed by me. It's just a template with a lot of code, but I can't locate any "page" associated with it? There aren't a lot of variations in this is there, so how might I retrieve the ID?
If it's a page node, it would appear in the node list in the control panel and the template would have a very particular name (which would actually have the node ID in it). Given that it sounds like neither of those are true, it seems likely that it's something other than a page node, thus we wouldn't really we able to tell you any specifics about what may be available to it. The person who developed it would be best positioned to help.
It could be a page node that uses a php callback. To find out, inspect the source. This line will contain the template name in the class, for example for my page node: <div id="content" class="rpmodule_temple">, the template name for that page is rpmodule_temple.
If you scroll further up, you will see the <body> tag. Within the body tag the class is set to the current node id, and it's parents. In my example:<body class="node21 node14 node16"> For my example the node id for my temple page is 21.
May help, may not.

it does say div id content and class = assessments, but I don't see anything related to nodes around the body tags.
