This is an organised index of Magic words used in MediaWiki. Tags such as "[MW1.5+]" indicate the version that first supported the magic word. "XYZ" indicates user input, which is used in the example.
Table of contents
- For details look it up with Google or at Mediawiki or Wikipedia.
| Word | Explanation |
|---|---|
| __NOTOC__ | Hides ToC on the current page. |
| __FORCETOC__ | Forces the table of contents to appear. |
| __TOC__ | Places a ToC here (overriding any __NOTOC__). |
More magic
| Word | Explanation |
|---|---|
| __NOEDITSECTION__ | Hides the edit links beside headings. |
| __NEWSECTIONLINK__ | [MW1.7+] Gives a "+"-link next to the edit-tab to make a new section on a non-talk page. |
| __NOCONTENTCONVERT__ __NOCC__ |
Don't perform the content language conversion (character and phase) in article display; for example, Chinese zh with zh_cn, zh_tw, zh_sg, zh_hk. |
| __NOGALLERY__ | [MW1.7+] This magic word allows images in category pages to be displayed as inline links instead of gallery. |
| __NOTITLECONVERT__ __NOTC__ |
Like __NOCC__ but affecting article title only. |
| __END__ | Allows for trailing whitespace to be included in the page save. |
| __START__ | This magic word has no effect but an ID in MagicWord.php (MAG_START).
|

Template modifiers
| Usage | Explanation |
|---|---|
| {{:xyz}} | A bare colon is not a template modifier, it's the prefix for the main namespace. Test e.g. article {{:UTC}} vs. template {{UTC}}. Using this syntax you include the text of the main namespace article xyz in another article. |
| {{int:xyz}} | Shorthand for {{MediaWiki:xyz}}, rendered as ⧼xyz⧽ if [[MediaWiki:xyz]] doesn't exist. |
| {{msg:xyz}} | Try {{Template:xyz}} before magic word xyz, without this modifier it's the other way around. No additional effect if there is no template xyz. |
| {{msgnw:xyz}} | The unevaluated wikitext is rendered. Look up msgnw. |
| {{raw:xyz}} | [MW1.6+] Like {{msg:}} (unclear) [5]
|
| {{subst:xyz}} | In the wikitext, the tag is substituted by the content (single-level evaluation only). |

Language-dependent word conversions
| Word | Example | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| {{ CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN }} | December
|
Genitive form of month name used for Czech, Polish, Ukrainian[7] |
| {{grammar:case | word }} | {{grammar:7sg|Wikipedie}} on cs is Wikipedií.
|
Derived word forms in inflected languages like Czech [8] |
| {{plural:count |form1 |form2 }} {{plural:count |1st | 2nd | 3rd }} |
{{plural: 2 | is | are }} outputs are{{plural: 0 | this | these }} outputs these
|
count 1 yields form1 (singular), plural transformations are used for languages like Russian [9] based on "count mod 10". |
"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.
"Plural" is a project-dependent switch function, e.g. giving the first text if count = 1, the second if count = 2,3, or 4, and else the third. See also mediazilla:5805 for the use of "plural" in system messages.
