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 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.
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 and can often be used to specify desired omissions and inclusions in the content.

Description

Versions
|
Table of contents
|
__NOTOC__
|
Hides the table of contents (TOC).
|
|
__FORCETOC__
|
Forces the table of contents to appear at its normal position (before 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. 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 normally counterintuitive to the user. If a template contains multiple headings, it may be necessary to add "__NOEDITSECTION__ " after each heading.
|
|
__NEWSECTIONLINK__
|
Adds a link beside the "edit" tab for adding a new section on a non-talk page (see Adding a section to the end).
|
|
__NONEWSECTIONLINK__
|
Removes the link beside the "edit" tab on pages in talk namespaces.
|
|
Categories
|
__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 parent categories (there is an option in the user preferences to show them).
|
|
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 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 "このページへのリダイレクトがあればそのリダイレクトを修正".
|
|
__DISAMBIG__
|
Marks a page as a disambiguation page and places it in Special:DisambiguationPages, and places inward links in Special:DisambiguationPageLinks. See Extension:Disambiguator.
|
requires Disambiguator extension
|
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 テンプレート:PAGENAME you would need to write {{テンプレート:PAGENAME}}
). In some cases, adding parameters will force the parser to invoke a template; for example, {{CURRENTDAYNAME|x}}
transcludes テンプレート: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.
The date and time magic words are formatted in the wiki content language. Since 1.19, they depend on the page content language.

Statistics
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}}
→ 1,057 and {{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}}
→ 1057).
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}}
hereinbefore.
The number magic words are formatted in the wiki content language. Since 1.19, it depends on the page content language.

The {{BASEPAGENAME}}
and {{SUBPAGENAME}}
magic words only work in namespaces that have subpages enabled. See $wgNamespacesWithSubpages for information on enabling subpages.
As of 1.15+, these can all take a parameter, allowing specification of the page to be operated on, instead of just the current page:
-
{{PAGENAME:Template:Main Page}}
→ Main Page
テンプレート:Warning/core
For example, if page name is "L'Aquila", the following code will produce the string "Numeric char encoding":
{{#switch:{{PAGENAME}}
| L'Aquila = No translation
| L = Not OK
| L'Aquila = Entity escaping
| L'Aquila = Numeric char encoding
}}
URL encoded page names
The following are equivalents encoded for use in MediaWiki URLs (i.e. spaces replaced with underscores and some characters HTML escaped using numeric character encoding):
-
{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}

- {{BASEPAGENAMEE}}
- {{SUBPAGENAMEE}}
- {{SUBJECTPAGENAMEE}}
- {{ARTICLEPAGENAMEE}}

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 ParserFunctions extension. 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 "ファイル". 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.
{{nse:}}
is the equivalent encoded for MediaWiki URLs. It does the same, but it replaces spaces with underscores, making it usable in external links.

-
{{formatnum:987654321.654321}} → 98,76,54,321.654321
-
{{formatnum:987654321.654321 |NOSEP}} → 987654321.654321

Unsupported:
{{formatnum:{{formatnum:987.654.321}}}} → 987 654 321 (e.g. with Italian locale)
Examples of wrong input (unreliable output), with or without |R :
{{formatnum:987,654.321|R}} (the least broken)
{{formatnum:987.654,321|R}}
{{formatnum:987 654,321|R}}

Takes an unformatted number (arab, 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 wiki's default locale.
The |R parameter can be used to reverse the behavior, for use in mathematical situations: it's reliable and should be used only to deformat numbers who are known to be formatted exactly as formatnum formats them with the wiki's locale.
テンプレート:Warning/core Leading zeroes are not removed, you can use {{#expr:00001}} instead if you have Extension:ParserFunctions installed.
テンプレート:Warning/core If you don't input numbers in the exact format required, don't expect any reliable output, especially on non-English wikis.
テンプレート:Warning/core The NOSEP ("no separators") parameter means that no group / decimal separators are changed; formatnum will only transform the digits themselves in languages which don't use the Hindu–Arabic numeral system. NOSEP can also prevent non-standard digit groupings you wouldn't expect.
If you really need to format (according the wiki's locale) a number in unknown input format, you could try and use formatnum two times (but not if it can have a decimal group, or its separator will be eaten or the number won't be formatted).

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.
テンプレート:Warning/coreAlthough the ISO 8601 standard requires that dates be in the Gregorian calendar, the ISO parameter in this function will still format dates that fall outside the usual Gregorian range (e.g. dates prior to 1583). Also, the magic word cannot properly convert between negative years (used with ISO 8601) and years BC or years BCE (used in general writing).

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.
Bug (fixed in r45734): multibyte characters are interpreted as two characters, which can skew width. These also cannot be used as padding characters.

{{padright:xyz|5}} → xyz00
{{padright:xyz|5|_}} → xyz__
{{padright:xyz|5|abc}} → xyzab
{{padright:xyz|2}} → xyz
{{padright:|1|xyz}} → x

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, #Formatting, #Miscellaneous. More magic words are added by the Translate extension.
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.

Outputs the singular form (second parameter) if the first parameter is an expression equalling one; the plural form (third parameter) otherwise. Its functioning is language-dependent. Some language codes (ab, av, ba, bxr, ce, crh_cyrl, cv, inh, koi, krc, kv, lbe, lez, mhr, mrj, myv, ru, tt_cyrl, tyv, udm, xal) used 3 plural forms (updated 01.2014):
- Form 1: 1, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 101, 1001, …
- Form 2: 0, 5, 6, 7,8,...18, 19, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, …

(Depends on parser tag)
|
Alias for XML-style MediaWiki parser tags or extension tags. It allows execution of wiki code and parser functions 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:
<tagname attribute1="value1" attribute2="value2"> Your content goes here</tagname>
…can be rewritten like this:
{{#tag: tagname| Your content goes here| attribute1=value1| attribute2=value2}}
Example for the Cite extension's <ref> tags:
{{#tag:ref|Citation text goes here, and you can include parser functions like {{#expr: ... }} and magic words like {{PAGENAME}}.|name="multiple"}}
テンプレート:Warning/coreYou must write {{#tag: tagname|| attribute1=value1| attribute2=value2}} to pass an empty content. No space is permitted in the area reserved for content between the pipe characters || before attribute1.
