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 explains only the standard magic words; for a technical reference, see Manual:Magic words .
There are three general types of magic words:
- Behavior switches: these are usually written as uppercase words surrounded by double underscores, e.g.
__FOO__
.
- Parser functions: these take parameters and are either of the form
{{foo:...}}
or{{#foo:...}}
, e.g.{{#invoke:...}}
. See also Help:Extension:ParserFunctions and Extension:Scribunto .
Variables and parser functions can use subst:, just like templates. 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.
Behavior switches
A behavior switch controls the layout or behavior of the page (if supported by the skin) and can often be used to specify desired omissions and inclusions in the content. Notably some of these are not supported by the Minerva skin.

---|---|---|---|---|
Ynhâldsopjefte | ||||
__NOTOC__
|
Hides the table of contents (TOC). | |||
__FORCETOC__
|
Forces the table of contents to appear at its normal position (before the first header, overriding __NOTOC__ ). This will not work in skins that present table of contents outside the article content e.g. Vector 2022 skin.
|
|||
__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. This will not work in skins that present table of contents outside the article content e.g. Vector 2022 skin.
|
|||
Editing | ||||
__NOEDITSECTION__
|
Hides the section edit links beside headings. This is especially useful where a heading is created from within a template: the normal wiki section-edit would in this case edit the template code, which is usually not what the user intends. Use of this in a template will extend the effect to that template, the pages it's included on, and any other templates included on the same page. A workaround is possible. | |||
__NEWSECTIONLINK__
|
Adds a link beside the "Bewurkje" tab for adding a new section on a non-talk page (see Adding a section to the end). |
| ||
__NONEWSECTIONLINK__
|
Removes the link beside the "Bewurkje" tab on pages in talk namespaces. |
| ||
Kategoryen | ||||
__NOGALLERY__
|
Used on a category page, replaces thumbnails in the category view with normal links. |
| ||
__HIDDENCAT__
|
Used on a category page, hides the category from the lists of categories in its members and subcategories (there is an option in the user preferences to show them). |
| ||
__EXPECTUNUSEDCATEGORY__
|
Used on a category page, removes the category from Special:UnusedCategories. |
| ||
Language conversion | ||||
__NOCONTENTCONVERT__ __NOCC__
|
On wikis with language variants, don't perform any content language conversion 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). | |||
Oare | ||||
__START__
|
No effect. Was used to point where database message starts after comment that should not be transcluded. Removed in r1695 and completely removed in r24784. |
| ||
__END__
|
Explicitly marks the end of the article, to prevent MediaWiki from removing trailing whitespace. Removed in 19213. |
| ||
__INDEX__
|
Tell search engines to index the page (overrides $wgArticleRobotPolicies but not robots.txt). It obeys $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl variable. |
| ||
__NOINDEX__
|
Tell search engines not to index the page (i.e. do not list in search engines' results). It obeys $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl variable. |
| ||
__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" (which requires $wgFixDoubleRedirects ). |
| ||
__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__
|
Used on a template page, removes the page from Special:UnusedTemplates.
If this switch is not intended to be transcluded with the template's contents, it should be used inside If the switch is intended to remove from the report all pages that transclude a given template (for example, a notice that is transcluded on testcases or sandbox subpages), put the switch inside |

From Extensions | ||||
Extension | Word | Description | Versions | |
GlobalUserPage | __NOGLOBAL__
|
Disables the global user page. If present on the central user page, will prevent it from being displayed on remote wikis, and it also determines whether a link to a user page on remote wiki should be red or blue. |
| |
Disambiguator | __DISAMBIG__
|
Identifies a disambiguation page. |
| |
Wikibase (client) | __EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__
|
Some wiki pages do not fit the scope of Wikidata items, such as discussion archives, template subpages, etc. To prevent a wiki page from being listed in Special:UnconnectedPages, use this magic word anywhere on the page. Pages that don't meet Wikidata's notability criteria should not receive a Wikidata item. |
| |
DiscussionTools | __ARCHIVEDTALK__
|
Hides "beäntwurdzje" links from discussions on archived pages. |
| |
__NOTALK__
|
Makes a page in a talk namespace not be treated like a talk page. |
| ||
ProofreadPage | __EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__
|
Some wikisource content pages consist of lists (such as a list of editions or translations of the same work) and therefore did not have scans. To prevent these pages from being listed in Special:PagesWithoutScans, insert this magic word into the page. |
| |
Wikibase (client) | {{NOEXTERNALLANGLINKS}}
|
A magic word and a parser function which when invoked, will disable the Wikibase extension for a specific page, or used with parameters can suppress specific interlanguage links produced by the extension. When active, only interlanguage links present in the wikitext are used. |
Fariabelen
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.
Datum en tiid
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.
The use of those variables cause pages to be cached for a more limited number of seconds. This is configured in MagicWordFactory.
The date and time magic words are formatted in the wiki content language. Since 1.19, they depend on the page content language.

Statistiken
Numbers returned by these variables normally contain separators (commas, dots or spaces, depending on the local language) but can return raw numbers with the ":R" flag (for example, {{NUMBEROFPAGES}}
→ 1.752.744 and {{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}}
→ 1752744).
Use "|R" for magic words that require a parameter like PAGESINCATEGORY (for example {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help}}
and {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|R}}
, or {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|subcats}}
and {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|subcats|R}}
).
Also applicable to {{PAGESIZE:page name}}

Escaped characters
MediaWiki interprets certain characters as markup separators in certain contexts, notably:
- template invocations
- tables
- function calls.
To prevent an immediate interpretation (so that the character can be displayed literally or later interpreted as a separator), Template:Character
can be used as an escape sequence, but only the following characters (replacements) are supported.
This form can be clearer or at least shorter than using the equivalent <nowiki>character</nowiki>
.
Syntax | Útfier | Beskriuwing | Ferzjes | |
---|---|---|---|---|
{{!}}

Used to include a vertical bar (pipe). For historical/technical reasons, this is not an escape sequence properly speaking. The syntax uses a resembling character, the exclamation mark, instead of the vertical bar.
See Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#Escaping pipe characters in tables for further explanation. Before this was added as a magic word, many wikis implemented this by creating Template:! with |

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 Extension:ParserFunctions . For those see Help:Extension:ParserFunctions .

{{ns:}}
returns the current localized name for the namespace with that index, canonical name, or local alias.
Thus {{ns:6}}
, {{ns:File}}
, and {{ns:Image}}
(an old name for the File namespace) all return "File".
On a wiki where the content language is French, {{ns:Fichier}}
is also valid, but {{ns:Datei}}
(the localisation of "File" in German) is not.
The main namespace has no name, i.e. {{ns:0}}
returns an empty string.
For explicitly referring to the main namespace, {{int:Blanknamespace}}
can be used, resulting in "(Haad)".
{{nse:}}
is the equivalent encoded for MediaWiki URLs. It does the same, but it replaces spaces with underscores, making it usable in external links.

Formatting

Unsupported: Examples of wrong input (unreliable output), with or without |
Takes an unformatted number (Arabic, no group separators and . as decimal separator) and outputs it in the localized digit script and formatted with decimal and decimal group separators, according to the page language.The If you really need to format (according the wiki's locale) a number in unknown input format, you could try and use |
| ||
|
Note: In the examples above, "your pref" refers to your date preference on the current MediaWiki wiki only. |
Formats an unlinked date based on user "date format" preference, and adds metadata tagging it as a formatted date. For logged-out users and those who have not set a date format in their preferences, dates can be given a default: mdy , dmy , ymd , ISO 8601 (all case sensitive). If only the month and day are given, only mdy and dmy are valid. If a format is not specified or is invalid, the input format is used as a default. If the supplied date is not recognized as a valid date (specifically, if it contains any metadata such as from a nested use of these or similar templates), it is rendered unchanged, and no (additional) metadata is generated.

{{lcfirst:DATA center}} → dATA center
|
The input with the very first character lowercase. |
| ||
|
{{uc:text transform}} → TEXT TRANSFORM
|
The uppercase input. |
| ||
|
{{ucfirst:text tRAnSFORM}} → Text tRAnSFORM
|
The input with the very first character uppercase. |
| ||
|
{{padleft:xyz|5}} → 00xyz
|
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. The padding string may be truncated if its length does not evenly divide the required number of characters.
Only the first character of the third parameter is used in versions up to 1.12, but by version 1.15, all the characters are used. |
| ||
|
{{padright:xyz|5}} → xyz00
|
Identical to padleft but adds padding characters to the right side.
|
| ||
|
{{bidi:text transform}} → text transform
|
Wraps the text in a script-appropriate directionality marker (either left-to-right (U+202A) or right-to-left (U+202B)) and a pop directionality formatting character (U+202C), to ensure directionality safety when using a mix of scripts in running text. |

Localization
Here are the magic words which are used as main localisation tools. Other magic words will often depend on the wiki's locale and configuration or on the chosen language: see in particular #Date and time, and #Formatting. More magic words are added by the Extension:Translate .
The usage of these magic words can be very complex, and the documentation is currently incomplete; there's some more info on PLURAL, GRAMMAR, GENDER.

{{#language}} {{#language:language code}} {{#language:language code|target language code}}
|
{{#language:ar}} → العربية {{#language:ar|en}} → Arabic
|
The full name of the language for the given language code: native name (language autonym) by default, name translated in target language if a target language code is specified. Extension:CLDR must be installed for the translation to work. If no argument is given, returns the name of the target language (for articles, the content language; for messages, the user language). |
| |||
{{#bcp47}} {{#bcp47:language code}}
|
{{#bcp47:sr-ec}} → sr-Cyrl{{#bcp47:zh-yue}} → yue
|
The IETF BCP-47 language tag for the given language code . If no argument is given, returns the tag of the target language (for articles, the content language; for messages, the user language). |

{{#dir:en}} → ltr{{#dir:he}} → rtl{{#dir:sr-Cyrl|bcp47}} → ltr
|
The directionality for the given language code , either rtl or ltr . If the optional second argument is bcp47 , then the first argument is interpreted as a BCP-47 language tag. If no argument is given, returns the directionality of the target language (for articles, the content language; for messages, the user language).

Outputs a plural form appropriate for the given language. For English, the singular form (second parameter) is used if the absolute value of the first parameter is an expression equalling one; and the the plural form (third parameter) is used otherwise. See further documentation on translatewiki.net
Some language codes (ab, av, ba, bxr, ce, crh_cyrl, cv, inh, koi, krc, kv, lbe, lez, mhr, mrj, myv, ru, sl, tt_cyrl, tyv, udm, xal) used 3 plural forms (updated 01.2014):

{{GRAMMAR:N|noun}}
|
Outputs the correct inflected form of the given word described by the inflection code after the colon. Grammar transformations are used for inflected languages like Polish. See also $wgGrammarForms , and grammar documentation on translatewiki.net. |

{{int:edit}} → Edit (Depends on user language; try: fr • ja) |
Internationalizes (translates) the given interface (MediaWiki namespace) message into the user language. For msgnw and other transclusion magic words, see the Transclusion modifiers section.
Note that this can damage / confuse cache consistency in MediaWiki 1.17 and earlier, see T16404. |
||||
{{int:editsectionhint|MediaWiki}}
|
{{int:editsectionhint|MediaWiki}} → Edit section: MediaWiki
|
You may also use parameters with translations. Parameters are designated in messages with: $1, $2, $3, etc. For example, here is the message for editsectionhint: Edit section: $1 In this example, MediaWiki replaces $1. |
Transclusion modifiers
{{Page name|optional params}}
usually transcludes another page, by default from the Template:namespace.
These magic words modify that behavior.
Usage | Description | Version | |
---|---|---|---|
{{:xyz}}
|
A bare colon is not a template modifier but the prefix for the main namespace. Since transclusion defaults to the Template namespace, you would use for example, {{:UTC}} (vs. {{UTC}}) to include the text of the main namespace article UTC rather than Template:UTC. | ||
{{int:xyz}}
|
Same as {{MediaWiki:xyz}}, except standard message translation is applied depending on subpages and content/user/uselang language. Another difference is: this doesn't appear under "Berjochten brûkt op dizze side:". Rendered as ⧼xyz⧽ if MediaWiki:xyz doesn't exist. See also Help:System message . | ||
{{msg:xyz}} {{raw:xyz}}
|
Even if there is a magic word named "xyz", use template:xyz unless the template doesn't exist (equivalent to {{template:xyz}}). Normally, magic words have priority when there is a conflict. | ||
{{raw:xyz}}
|
If $wgEnableScaryTranscluding is enabled, and this is an interwiki transclusion, include the raw wikitext instead of the html from the foreign wiki. |
| |
{{msgnw:xyz}}
|
The unexpanded wikitext is rendered (more or less, for details see Help:Templates#Usage ). | ||
{{subst:xyz}}
|
In the wikitext, the tag is substituted by the content (single-level evaluation only), see Help:Templates#Usage . | ||
{{safesubst:xyz}}
|
See Help:Templates#Usage . |

Alias for XML-style MediaWiki parser tags or extension tags. It allows a pre-save transform of wiki code and Extension:ParserFunctions within tags before the tag is processed. It also prevents parsing of tags in conditional paths that aren't executed (like in #if statements). Content between tags is passed as the first parameter, and any attributes for the tags can be passed as subsequent parameters. This example:
…can be rewritten like this:
