Revision as of 15:42, 2 August 2009

Magic words are strings of text that MediaWiki associates with a return value or function, such as time, site details, or page names.

There are three general types of magic words:

Page-dependent magic words will affect or return data about the current page, even if the word is added through a transcluded template or included system message.

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
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 ("+") beside the "edit" tab for adding a new section on a non-talk page (see Template:Mediawiki). Assumed functional
Categories
__NOGALLERY__ Used on a category page, replaces thumbnails in the category view with normal links. Assumed functional

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 treat a variable as a template; for example, {{CURRENTDAYNAME|x}} transcludes Template:CURRENTDAYNAME.

Template:Admin tip

Date & time

The following variables return the current date and time according to the user's timezone preferences, defaulting to the UTC timezone.

Due to MediaWiki and browser caching, these variables frequently show when the page was cached rather than the current time.

Variable Output Description Versions
Year
{{CURRENTYEAR}} 2024 Year
Month
{{CURRENTMONTH}} 06 Month (zero-padded number)
{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} June Month (name)
{{CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN}} June Month (genitive form)
{{CURRENTMONTHABBREV}} Jun Month (abbreviation) 1.5+
Day
{{CURRENTDAY}} 26 Day of the month (unpadded number)
{{CURRENTDAY2}} 26 Day of the month (zero-padded number) 1.6+
{{CURRENTDOW}} 3 Day of the week (unpadded number)
{{CURRENTDAYNAME}} Wednesday Day of the week (name)
Time
{{CURRENTTIME}} 14:11 Time (24-hour HH:mm format)
{{CURRENTHOUR}} 14 Hour (24-hour zero-padded number)
Other
{{CURRENTWEEK}} 26 Week (number)
{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} 20240626141119 YYYYMMDDHHmmss timestamp 1.7+

The following variables do the same as the above, but using the site's local timezone instead of user preferences and UTC:

  • {{LOCALYEAR}}
  • {{LOCALMONTH}}
  • {{LOCALMONTHNAME}}
  • {{LOCALMONTHNAMEGEN}}
  • {{LOCALMONTHABBREV}}
  • {{LOCALDAY}}
  • {{LOCALDAY2}}
  • {{LOCALDOW}}
  • {{LOCALDAYNAME}}
  • {{LOCALTIME}}
  • {{LOCALHOUR}}
  • {{LOCALWEEK}}
  • {{LOCALTIMESTAMP}}
For more thorough time formatting, you may want to install Extension:ParserFunctions to use the #time: parser function

Technical metadata

Revision variables return data about the latest edit to the current page, even if viewing an older version of the page.

Variable Output Description Versions
Site
{{SITENAME}} The Urban Dead Wiki The wiki's site name (Template:Mediawiki).
{{SERVER}} //wiki.urbandead.com domain URL (Template:Mediawiki)
{{SERVERNAME}} wiki.urbandead.com domain name (Template:Mediawiki)
{{DIRMARK}}
{{DIRECTIONMARK}}

Outputs a unicode-directional mark that matches the wiki's default language's direction (&lrm; on left-to-right wikis, &rlm; on right-to-left wikis), useful in text with multi-directional text. 1.7+
{{SCRIPTPATH}} relative script path (Template:Mediawiki)
{{CURRENTVERSION}} 1.39.1 The wiki's MediaWiki version. 1.7+
{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}
{{CONTENTLANG}}
en
en
The wiki's default interface language (Template:Mediawiki) 1.7+
Latest revision to current page
{{REVISIONID}} 1530413 Unique revision ID 1.5+
{{REVISIONDAY}} 2 Day edit was made (unpadded number) 1.8+
{{REVISIONDAY2}} 02 Day edit was made (zero-padded number) 1.8+
{{REVISIONMONTH}} 08 Month edit was made (unpadded number) 1.8+
{{REVISIONYEAR}} 2009 Year edit was made 1.8+
{{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} 20090802154236 Timestamp as of time of edit 1.8+
{{REVISIONUSER}} The Rooster The username of the user who made the most recent edit to the page 1.15+
{{PAGESIZE:page name}} 0 [expensive] Returns the byte size of the specified page. Template:Mediawiki
{{PROTECTIONLEVEL:action}} protection level Outputs the protection level (e.g. 'autoconfirm', 'sysop') for a given action (e.g. 'edit', 'move') on the current page or an empty string if not protected. 1.15+
Affects page content
{{DISPLAYTITLE:title}} Format the current page's title header. The value must be equivalent to the default title: only capitalization changes and replacing spaces with underscores. It can be disabled or enabled by Template:Mediawiki; disabled by default before 1.10+, enabled by default thereafter. 1.7+
{{DEFAULTSORT:sortkey}}
{{DEFAULTSORTKEY:sortkey}}
{{DEFAULTCATEGORYSORT:sortkey}}
Used for categorizing pages, sets a default category sort key. For example if you put {{DEFAULTSORT:Smith, John}} at the end of John Smith, the page would be sorted under "S" by default in categories. 1.10+

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}} → 152,207 and {{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}} → 152207). Use "|R" for magic words that require a parameter like PAGESINCATEGORY (for example {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help}} and {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|R}}).

Variable Output Description Versions
Entire wiki
{{NUMBEROFPAGES}} 152,207 Number of wiki pages. 1.7+
{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} 19,388 Number of pages in main namespace without Main Page.
{{NUMBEROFFILES}} 22,060 Number of uploaded files. 1.5+
{{NUMBEROFEDITS}} 3,182,798 Number of page edits. Template:Mediawiki
{{NUMBEROFVIEWS}} Template:NUMBEROFVIEWS Number of page views. Usually useless on a wiki using caching. Template:Mediawiki
{{NUMBEROFUSERS}} 51,209 Number of registered users. 1.7+
{{NUMBEROFADMINS}} 7 Number of users in the sysop Template:Mediawiki. 1.7+
{{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}} 18 Number of active users, based on the criteria used in Special:Statistics. Template:Mediawiki

27
27
[expensive] Number of pages in the given category (replace "Help" with the relevant category name). Template:Mediawiki
{{NUMBERINGROUP:groupname}}
{{NUMINGROUP:groupname}}
4

({{NUMBERINGROUP:bureaucrat}} used here)
Number of users in a specific Template:Mediawiki. Template:Mediawiki
{{PAGESINNS:index}}
{{PAGESINNAMESPACE:index}}
not enabled Number of pages in the given namespace (replace 2 with the relevant namespace index). E.g. {{PAGESINNAMESPACE:14}} equals the number of categories. Disabled by default, enable with Template:Mediawiki. 1.7+

Page names

Variable Output Description Versions
{{FULLPAGENAME}} User:The Rooster/Sandpit/10 Namespace and page title. 1.6+
{{PAGENAME}} The Rooster/Sandpit/10 Page title.
{{BASEPAGENAME}} The Rooster/Sandpit Page title excluding the current subpage and namespace ("Title" on "Title/foo"). 1.7+
{{SUBPAGENAME}} 10 The subpage title ("foo" on "Title/foo"). 1.6+
{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}} User:The Rooster/Sandpit/10 The namespace and title of the associated content page. 1.7+
{{TALKPAGENAME}} User talk:The Rooster/Sandpit/10 The namespace and title of the associated talk page. 1.7+

The {{BASEPAGENAME}} and {{SUBPAGENAME}} magic words only work in namespaces that have subpages enabled. See Template:Mediawiki for information on enabling subpages.

The following are URL-encoded equivalents:

  • {{FULLPAGENAMEE}}
  • {{PAGENAMEE}}
  • {{BASEPAGENAMEE}}
  • {{SUBPAGENAMEE}}
  • {{SUBJECTPAGENAMEE}}
  • {{TALKPAGENAMEE}}

As of Template:Mediawiki, 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

Namespaces

Variable Output Description Versions
{{NAMESPACE}} User Namespace (name)
{{SUBJECTSPACE}}
{{ARTICLESPACE}}
User
User
Name of the associated content namespace 1.7+
{{TALKSPACE}} User talk Name of the associated talk namespace 1.7+

The following are URL-encoded equivalents:

  • {{NAMESPACEE}}
  • {{SUBJECTSPACEE}}
  • {{TALKSPACEE}}

As of Template:Mediawiki, these can all take a parameter, specifying the property should be returned for a given title instead of the current page:

  • {{NAMESPACE:Template:Main Page}}Template

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 usually prefixed with a hash to distinguish them from possible 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 Template:Mediawiki. For those see Help:Extension:ParserFunctions.

The input with decimal and decimal group separators, and localized digit script, according to the wiki's default locale. the |R parameter can be used to unformat a number, for use in mathematical situations. 1.7+
1.13+

{{#dateformat:date}} {{#formatdate:date}} {{#dateformat:date|format}} {{#formatdate:date|format}}

{{#dateformat:11 seP 2001|ymd}}
2001 September 11 (your pref), 2001 SeP 11 (default)
{{#formatdate:sep 11,2001|dmy}}

{{#formatdate:2001 sep 11|ISO 8601}}
2001-09-11 (your pref), 2001-09-11 (default)

Note: In the example above, "your pref" refers to your date preference on the current MediaWiki wiki only.

Formats an unlinked date based on user "Date format" preference. 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 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, it is rendered unchanged.
Stop hand.png
Please do not vandalise this wiki. Continuing this behaviour may lead to your editing privileges being revoked.Although 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).
1.15+
{{padleft:xyz|stringlength}}
{{padleft:xyz|strlen|char}}
{{padleft:xyz|5}} → 00xyz
{{padleft:xyz|5|_}} → __xyz
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.
bug (fixed in r45734): multibyte characters are interpreted as two characters, which can skew width. These also cannot be used as padding characters.
1.8+
{{padright:xyz|stringlength}}
{{padright:xyz|strlen|char}}
{{padright:xyz|5}} → xyz00
{{padright:xyz|5|_}} → xyz__
Identical to padleft, but adds padding characters to the right side.
{{plural:2|is|are}} {{plural:1|is|are}} → is
{{plural:2|is|are}} → are
Outputs the correct given pluralization form (parameters except first) depending on the count (first parameter). Plural transformations are used for languages like Russian based on "count mod 10".
{{grammar:N|noun}} Outputs

the correct inflected form of the given word described by the inflection code after the colon (language-dependent). Grammar transformations are used for inflected languages like Polish. See also Template:Mediawiki.

1.7+

Miscellaneous


This is an organised index of all Magic words that are known to work on this wiki. "XYZ" indicates user input, which is used in the example.

Table of contents

Word Explanation
__NOTOC__ Hides the Table of Contents on the current page.
__FORCETOC__ Forces the table of contents to appear.
__TOC__ Places a Table of Contents here. Also forces it to appear.
