'''Magic words''' are strings of text that MediaWiki associates with a return value or function, such as time, site details, or page names.
{|style="margin:0 auto 6px; border-bottom:solid 2px #BBB; font-family:verdana; {{switch|{{PAGENAME}}|case: {{{location}}}=|case: The Rooster/Sandpit/10=|default=display:none}}" id="{{{x}}}-{{{y}}}" cellspacing=0
 
|style="width:160px; vertical-align:top; font-size:2em; text-align:center; {{RevivePointStatus | {{{status|unknown}}} }}"|
There are three general types of magic words:
{{{status|unknown}}}
*'''[[#Behavior switches|Behavior switches]]''': these are uppercase words surrounded by double underscores, ''e.g.'' '''__FOO__'''
|style="width:440px; background:#EEE; padding:6px 12px"|<div style="float:right; font-size:11px">'''([http://ud-malton.info/revive.php?State=Search&X={{{x}}}&Y={{{y}}}&Distance=1 {{{x|0}}}, {{{y|0}}}])''' [[List of Revivification Points|(list of RPs)]] [[Example Page|(update)]]</div>'''<big>[[{{{location|Example Page}}}]]</big>'''<br>Maintained by:{{{group|Local survivors.}}}<br>{{{comment|No comments}}}<div style="text-align:right; font-size:10px">{{{timestamp|}}}</div>
*'''[[#Variables|Variables]]''': these are uppercase words surrounded by double braces, ''e.g.'' '''<tt><nowiki>{{FOO}}</nowiki></tt>'''. As such, they look a lot like [[Help:Templates|templates]].
*'''[[#Parser functions|Parser functions]]''': these take parameters and are either of the form '''<tt><nowiki>{{foo:...}}</nowiki></tt>''' or '''<tt><nowiki>{{#foo:...}}</nowiki></tt>'''. See also [[Help:Extension:ParserFunctions]].
 
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.
 
==Behaviour switches==
A behaviour switch controls the layout or behaviour of the page and can often be used to specify desired omissions and inclusions in the content.

==Variables==
Variables return information about the current page, wiki, or date. Their syntax is similar to [[Help:Templates|templates]].
===Date & time===
The following variables return the current date and time according to the user's timezone [[Special:Preferences|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.

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, <code><tt><nowiki>{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}</nowiki></tt></code> &rarr; {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} and <code><tt><nowiki>{{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}}</nowiki></tt></code> &rarr; {{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}}).

==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. This wiki does not have the Parser functions extension.

| 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. <nowiki>{{padleft:44|3|0}}</nowiki> produces {{padleft:44|3}}.
