Help:Magic words
Magic words are strings of text that MediaWiki associates with a return value or function, such as time, site details, or page names. This page is about usage of standard magic words; for a technical reference, see {{ #ifeq:
WiRNS Wiki
| MediaWiki | Manual:Magic words | Manual:Magic words }}.
There are three general types of magic words:
- Behavior switches: these are uppercase words surrounded by double underscores, e.g. __FOO__
- Variables: these are uppercase words surrounded by double braces, e.g.
{{FOO}}. As such, they look a lot like templates. - Parser functions: these take parameters and are either of the form
{{foo:...}}or{{#foo:...}}. See also {{ #ifeq:
WiRNS Wiki
| MediaWiki | Help:Extension:ParserFunctions | Help:Extension:ParserFunctions }}.
Page-dependent magic words will affect or return data about the current page (by default), even if the word is added through a transcluded template or included system message.
Contents |
Behavior switches
A behavior switch controls the layout or behaviour of the page and can often be used to specify desired omissions and inclusions in the content.
| Word | Description | Versions | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Table of contents | |||||
__NOTOC__
|
Hides the table of contents (TOC). | ||||
__FORCETOC__
|
Forces the table of content to appear at its normal position (above the first header). | ||||
__TOC__
|
Places a table of contents at the word's current position (overriding __NOTOC__). If this is used multiple times, the table of contents will appear at the first word's position.
|
||||
| Editing | |||||
__NOEDITSECTION__
|
Hides the section edit links beside headings. | ||||
__NEWSECTIONLINK__
|
Adds a link ("+" by default) beside the "edit" tab for adding a new section on a non-talk page (see {{ #ifeq:
WiRNS Wiki |
MediaWiki | Adding a section to the end | Adding a section to the end
}}). |
1.7+ |
__NONEWSECTIONLINK__
|
Removes the link beside the "edit" tab on pages in talk namespaces. | {{ #ifeq:
WiRNS Wiki |
MediaWiki | 1.15+ | 1.15+
}} |
| Categories | |||||
__NOGALLERY__
|
Used on a category page, replaces thumbnails in the category view with normal links. | 1.7+ | |||
__HIDDENCAT__
|
Used on a category page, hides the category from the lists of categories in its members and parent categories (there is an option in the user preferences to show them). | 1.13+ | |||
| Language conversion | |||||
__NOCONTENTCONVERT__ __NOCC__
|
On wikis with language variants, don't perform any content language conversion (character and phase) in article display; for example, only show Chinese (zh) instead of variants like zh_cn, zh_tw, zh_sg, or zh_hk. | ||||
__NOTITLECONVERT__ __NOTC__
|
On wikis with language variants, don't perform language conversion on the title (all other content is converted). | ||||
| Other | |||||
__START__
|
No effect. | ||||
__END__
|
Explicitly marks the end of the article, to prevent MediaWiki from removing trailing whitespace. Removed in {{ #ifeq:
WiRNS Wiki |
MediaWiki | 19213 | 19213
}}. |
1.1–1.8 |
__INDEX__
|
Tell search engines to index the page (overrides {{ #ifeq:
WiRNS Wiki |
MediaWiki | $wgArticleRobotPolicies | $wgArticleRobotPolicies
}}, but not robots.txt). |
1.14+ |
__NOINDEX__
|
Tell search engines not to index the page (ie, do not list in search engines' results). | {{ #ifeq:
WiRNS Wiki |
MediaWiki | 1.14+ | 1.14+
}} |
__STATICREDIRECT__
|
On redirect pages, don't allow MediaWiki to automatically update the link when someone moves a page and checks "Update any redirects that point to the original title". | {{ #ifeq:
WiRNS Wiki |
MediaWiki | 1.13+ | 1.13+
}} |
Variables
Variables return information about the current page, wiki, or date. Their syntax is similar to templates. Variables marked as "[expensive]" are tracked by the software, and the number that can be included on a page is limited.
If a template name conflicts with a variable, the variable will be used (so to transclude the template Template:PAGENAME you would need to write {{Template:PAGENAME}}). In some cases, adding parameters will force the parser to invoke a template; for example, {{CURRENTDAYNAME|x}} transcludes Template:CURRENTDAYNAME not the variable.
Date and time
The following variables return the current date and time in UTC.
Due to MediaWiki and browser caching, these variables frequently show when the page was cached rather than the current time.

Statistics
Numbers returned by these variables normally contain separators (commas or spaces, depending on the local language), but can return raw numbers with the ":R" flag (for example, {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} → 242 and {{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}} → 242). Use "|R" for magic words that require a parameter like PAGESINCATEGORY (for example {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help}} and {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|R}}). Also applicable to {{PAGESIZE:page name}} above.

Parser functions
Parser functions are very similar to variables, but take one or more parameters (technically, any magic word that takes a parameter is a parser function), and the name is sometimes prefixed with a hash to distinguish them from templates.
This page only describes parser functions that are integral to the MediaWiki software. Other parser functions may be added by MediaWiki extensions such as the {{ #ifeq:
WiRNS Wiki
| MediaWiki | ParserFunctions extension | ParserFunctions extension }}. For those see Help:Extension:ParserFunctions.

Inserts a string of padding characters (character chosen in third parameter; default '0') of a specified length (second parameter) next to a chosen base character or variable (first parameter). The final digits or characters in the base replace the final characters in the padding; i.e. {{padleft:44|3|0}} produces 044.

|
Outputs the singular form (second parameter) if the first parameter is an expression equalling one; the plural form (third parameter) otherwise. Plural transformations are used for languages like Russian based on "count mod 10". You should not expect this to handle fractions (like 44.5) — see bug 28128. | |||||||
