This is an index of Magic words used in MediaWiki.

Contents

Indicates a redirect

__NOTOC__

Hides the table of contents.

__FORCETOC__

Always show the table of contents.

__TOC__

Place the table of contents here. See also compact TOC

__NOEDITSECTION__

05

CURRENTMONTHNAME

A variable.

May

CURRENTDAY

A variable.

5

CURRENTDAYNAME

A variable.

A variable.

This Page= Magic_words

NAMESPACE

A variable.

This Page = Help

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 "May" but {{msg:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} would display "Test".

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.

MSGNW:

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

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


{{msgnw:stub}}


__END__

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

thumbnail

An image modifier. 'Thumb' has the same effect.

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

right

An image modifier.

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

left

An image modifier.

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

none

An image modifier.

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

1px

An image modifier.

[[Image:Mediawiki.png|142px|Mediawiki]]

center

An image modifier. Can also be spelled centre.

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

framed

An image modifier. Can also be spelled enframed or frame.


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

INT:

A special template. Used for UI messages.

mainpage:

{{SITENAME}} = The Giant: The Definitive Obey Giant Site

{{localurle:Help:Magic words|section=0}}

yields

SERVER

A variable. {{SERVER}} produces https://www.thegiant.org

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.

E. g. in Czech language, {{grammar:1sg|Wikipedie}} outputs Wikipedie, while {{grammar:7sg|Wikipedie}} outputs Wikipedií.

__NOTITLECONVERT__

Same as below but Article Title only.
