 * Extended syntax extensions: Extended syntax extensions, mostly Magic Word extensions, add to the list of MediaWiki Magic Words, such as . Usually, a specific PHP function interprets these words, and either replaces them with something, or sets some conditions for later processing during output generation, or both. Most usually, the replacement is the empty string; that is, the Magic Word is deleted, and nothing is shown in its place. Altered processing may involve addition of an extra piece of CSS, or suppression of user preference settings during page generation, and can be almost anything.
