Help talk:Magic words

No Line
Is there any magic word to remove the horizontal lines which locate after each heading? --Yoosef Pooranvary (talk) 00:13, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * There is no magic word for such a thing. That is handled by the skin's css, which you may change if you have access to the skins and your intent is to remove them for everyone.  If you do not have access or do not want to remove them for everyone, you may add a section of code to your User.css to remove them.  You will simply add something like:


 * I hope this helps you. -- ShoeMaker  ( Contributions &bull; Message )   12:44, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Scope of NOEDITSECTION not clear
In the documentation it is suggested that NOEDITSECTION may work on one section only. My experience however is that if you put one NOEDITSECTION on a page all sections are non editable. I would prefer it possible to select which sections are editable and which not, but I see no way how to do this. Is there a way to do this? --AdSvS (talk) 13:34, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Padleft with spaces
How do you force padding with spaces? I've tried &amp;nbsp; and &lt;span&gt; tags, but they only pad one character and stop.
 * Not sure exactly what you are hoping to do, but have you tried &amp;#32;? Might even require a combination of an alternation of padding with &amp;nbsp;&amp;#32; Also, I'm thinking it is another possibility that the parser is parsing it out more than once and you should maybe try       -- ShoeMaker   ( Contributions &bull; Message )   18:59, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Case Manipulation
Is there currently any method available to format a string with Start Case? I know there is {{uc: to transform string to upper case, {{lc: to transform string to lower case, {{ucfirst: to transform first character to upper case, and {{lcfirst: to transform first character to upper case. What I am looking for is something like {{sc: to transform a string into start case (This Is Start Case Style). If there is currently nothing, I'll put in a feature request on Bugzilla, I just figured I would ask here first. -- ShoeMaker  ( Contributions &bull; Message )   19:10, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Pending change level
This page needs to be updated with, but I'm not sure that I could describe it accurately myself. Does anyone know who the right person to ask is? Mr. Stradivarius (talk) 10:17, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * First off, what is a ?  I've tried searching the text for anywhere on this wiki and en.wikipedia and can't find a thing referring to that.  It looks like some kind of Magic Word or Template, but I can't find it on the Help:Magic Words page or in the Template namespace.


 * Secondly, what is the change that you think condones a ?

 * PENDINGCHANGELEVEL is a magic word that shows the level of pending-changes protection active on the current page. It's already implemented, it's just not documented here yet - I revised a meta-template for protection icons using it on en.wiki (en:Template:Pp-meta). On the template talk page, someone pointed to this page where it was apparently put into MediaWiki, but I don't really understand the code review process or localization issues, so I thought I'd ask before adding it to the page in case I got it wrong.

 * Does that magic word belong to the core (or core set of extensions)? I would think it is part of Extension:FlaggedRevs' Special:PendingChanges.  No?  Either way, I don't see this MAG listed on Special:Version with the rest of the MAGs. — T13   ( C • M • Click to learn how to view this signature as intended ) 10:34, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It's extension specific so probably belongs on in the extension docs. Note afaik special:version only lists parser functions not variables and this one is a variable. Bawolff (talk) 11:31, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
