A "
magic
word
" is a symbol which is recognized by the MediaWiki software and which when seen in the non-commented text of the page, triggers the software to do something other than display that symbol, or transclude a page with that name, but instead to use the symbol directly. A magic word can be
- an upper case word, preceded and followed by two underscores, e.g.
__NOTOC__
- an XML object, coded similar to HTML, preceded by "<" (and for the end tag "/") and followed by ">", as in
<nowiki>
...
</nowiki>
- a
parser function
: similar to a template, a word preceded by the symbols "
{{
" and followed by "
}}
", and optionally parameter definitions between pipe characters, except that the part before the first pipe (or without pipes, the text between the braces) contains a colon ("
:
"), e.g. {{
ns:
3}} and {{
#ifexpr:
{{{1}}}>3|large|small}}
- a
variable
: similar to a template without parameters, a word preceded by the symbols "
{{
" and followed by "
}}
", except the word used is in all upper case, e.g.
{{CURRENTDAY}}
- a template modifier
- an image modifier
Tags which are used on this page such as "
[MW1.5+]
" indicate the version that first supported the magic word. "XYZ" indicates user input, which is used in the example.

First case is, for example, applicable to years in a category... giving an ordered year to sort by pipetricks order, or any such ordering where left extended zeros allow a proper sorting.
[MW1.8+]
Pads a string with a character to the specified width. Note that there's a little bug that interprets non-
US-ASCII
characters as two, instead of one character (see the difference in
cafe
and
cafe
in the examples.)
It does not seem possible to use padleft and padright for padding with characters with a multi-character code, such as
, which would be useful with padleft for
sorting tables
with Javascript.
Padding "0" does not work, it returns the same. This seems to be a bug.

"Grammar" and "Plural" are language-dependent functions, defined in
[10]
,
[11]
, etc. (note that in PHP, the modulo operator is the percent sign).
"Grammar" can either be applied to predefined words only, or to arbitrary words, depending on whether the definition is just a 2D array, or involves string manipulations. See also
cs:?ablona:Wikivar/GRAMMAR
.
"Plural" is a site-language-dependent switch function, controlled by function convertPlural in Language.php (which distinguishes between 1 and "not 1"), for some languages overridden in Languagexx.php, e.g. for French (which distinguishes between <=1 and >1) and Russian (oddly, first option is 1, 21, 31,.., 91, 101, 121, .., second is 2, 3, 4, 22, 23, 24, 31, 32, 33, 41,.., 94, 102, 103, 104,.., 122, 123,.., and else the third).
As opposed to
ParserFunctions
, "plural" accepts points and commas in numbers and interprets them in a site-language-specific way (depending on $separatorTransformTable in Messagesxx.php); on this site:
- {{plural:1.000|a|b|c}} gives a
- {{plural:1,000|a|b|c}} gives b
(on e.g. the German and the Dutch sites reversed w.r.t. the result on English sites).
"Plural" is used in various system messages, e.g.
???:Msg
, where it uses interface language instead of site language.
