This is an index of Magic words used in MediaWiki.

Contents

[edit] #redirect

Indicates a redirect

[edit] __NOTOC__

Hides the table of contents.

[edit] __FORCETOC__

Always show the table of contents.

[edit] __TOC__

Place the table of contents here.

[edit] __NOEDITSECTION__

Hide the edit links.

[edit] __START__

__START__ does nothing, and it is considered a magic word only because it has an ID in MagicWord.php (MAG_START).

[edit] CURRENTMONTH

A variable.

12

[edit] CURRENTMONTHNAME

A variable.

December

[edit] CURRENTDAY

A variable.

22

[edit] NAMESPACE

[edit] MSG:

A template modifier, i.e. {{msg:stub}} shows

{{Stub}}


The use of msg has an effect when a template name clashes with a magic word. For example, if [[Template:CURRENTMONTHNAME]] contained "Test", then {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} would display "December" but {{msg:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} would display "Test".

[edit] SUBST:

A template modifier. Replaces the reference to the template (e.g. {{subst:template}}) with the content of the template.

e.g. {{subst:stub}} copies the {{stub}} contents below to the article, without using the template.

This article is a stub. You can help Wikimedia by expanding it.

SUSBT: can be helpful to avoid the overuse of meta-templates.

[edit] MSGNW:

A template modifier. Causes the template source to be pasted.

So <pre>{{msgnw:stub}}</pre> outputs:


{{msgnw:stub}}


[edit] __END__

Allows for trailing whitespace to be deliberately included in the page save.

[edit] thumbnail

[[Image:ImageName.jpg|thumbnail|Mediawiki]]

[edit] right

An image modifier.

[[Image:ImageName.jpg|right|Mediawiki]]

[edit] left

An image modifier.

[[Image:Mediawiki.png|left|Mediawiki]]

[edit] none

[[Image:Mediawiki.png|none|Mediawiki]]

[edit] 1px

[edit] GRAMMAR:

Useful for inflected languages to derive word forms. Usage: {{grammar:case|word}}, cases in which this could be used depend on the specific language.
