Magic words are strings of text that MediaWiki associates with a return value or function, such as time, site details, or page names. This page is about usage of standard magic words; for a technical reference, see {{ #ifeq: Planimate Knowledge Base | MediaWiki | Manual:Magic words | Manual:Magic words }}.

There are three general types of magic words:

  • Behavior switches: these are uppercase words surrounded by double underscores, e.g. __FOO__
  • Variables: these are uppercase words surrounded by double braces, e.g. {{FOO}}. As such, they look a lot like templates.
  • Parser functions: these take parameters and are either of the form {{foo:...}} or {{#foo:...}}. See also {{ #ifeq:

Planimate Knowledge Base | MediaWiki | Help:Extension:ParserFunctions | Help:Extension:ParserFunctions }}.

Page-dependent magic words will affect or return data about the current page (by default), even if the word is added through a transcluded template or included system message.

Behavior switches

A behavior switch controls the layout or behaviour of the page and can often be used to specify desired omissions and inclusions in the content.

Word Description Versions
style="background:#8DA7D6; color:black;" colspan="3"| Table of contents
__NOTOC__ Hides the table of contents (TOC).
__FORCETOC__ Forces the table of content to appear at its normal position (above the first header).
__TOC__ Places a table of contents at the word's current position (overriding __NOTOC__). If this is used multiple times, the table of contents will appear at the first word's position.
style="background:#8DA7D6; color:black;" colspan="3"| Editing
__NOEDITSECTION__ Hides the section edit links beside headings.
__NEWSECTIONLINK__ Adds a link ("+" by default) beside the "edit" tab for adding a new section on a non-talk page (see {{ #ifeq:

Planimate Knowledge Base

MediaWiki Adding a section to the end Adding a section to the end

}}).

1.7+
__NONEWSECTIONLINK__ Removes the link beside the "edit" tab on pages in talk namespaces. {{ #ifeq:

Planimate Knowledge Base

MediaWiki 1.15+ 1.15+

}}

style="background:#8DA7D6; color:black;" colspan="3"| Categories
__NOGALLERY__ Used on a category page, replaces thumbnails in the category view with normal links. 1.7+
__HIDDENCAT__ Used on a category page, hides the category from the lists of categories in its members and parent categories (there is an option in the user preferences to show them). 1.13+
style="background:#8DA7D6; color:black;" colspan="3"| Language conversion
__NOCONTENTCONVERT__
__NOCC__
On wikis with language variants, don't perform any content language conversion (character and phase) in article display; for example, only show Chinese (zh) instead of variants like zh_cn, zh_tw, zh_sg, or zh_hk.
__NOTITLECONVERT__
__NOTC__
On wikis with language variants, don't perform language conversion on the title (all other content is converted).
style="background:#8DA7D6; color:black;" colspan="3"| Other
__START__ No effect.
__END__ Explicitly marks the end of the article, to prevent MediaWiki from removing trailing whitespace. Removed in {{ #ifeq:

Planimate Knowledge Base

MediaWiki 19213 19213

}}.

1.1–1.8
__INDEX__ Tell search engines to index the page (overrides {{ #ifeq:

Planimate Knowledge Base

MediaWiki $wgArticleRobotPolicies $wgArticleRobotPolicies

}}, but not robots.txt).

1.14+
__NOINDEX__ Tell search engines not to index the page (ie, do not list in search engines' results). {{ #ifeq:

Planimate Knowledge Base

MediaWiki 1.14+ 1.14+

}}

__STATICREDIRECT__ On redirect pages, don't allow MediaWiki to automatically update the link when someone moves a page and checks "Update any redirects that point to the original title". {{ #ifeq:

Planimate Knowledge Base

MediaWiki 1.13+ 1.13+

}}

Variables

Variables return information about the current page, wiki, or date. Their syntax is similar to templates. Variables marked as "[expensive]" are tracked by the software, and the number that can be included on a page is limited.

If a template name conflicts with a variable, the variable will be used (so to transclude the template Template:PAGENAME you would need to write {{Template:PAGENAME}}). In some cases, adding parameters will force the parser to invoke a template; for example, {{CURRENTDAYNAME|x}} transcludes Template:CURRENTDAYNAME not the variable.

Date and time

The following variables return the current date and time in UTC.

Due to MediaWiki and browser caching, these variables frequently show when the page was cached rather than the current time.

Variable Output Description Versions
style="background:#8DA7D6; color:black;" colspan="4"| Year
{{CURRENTYEAR}} 2024 Year
style="background:#8DA7D6; color:black;" colspan="4"| Month
{{CURRENTMONTH}} 03 Month (zero-padded number)
{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} March Month (name)
{{CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN}} March Month (genitive form)
{{CURRENTMONTHABBREV}} Mar Month (abbreviation) 1.5+
style="background:#8DA7D6; color:black;" colspan="4"| Day
{{CURRENTDAY}} 29 Day of the month (unpadded number)
{{CURRENTDAY2}} 29 Day of the month (zero-padded number) 1.6+
{{CURRENTDOW}} 5 Day of the week (unpadded number)
{{CURRENTDAYNAME}} Friday Day of the week (name)
style="background:#8DA7D6; color:black;" colspan="4"| Time
{{CURRENTTIME}} 10:03 Time (24-hour HH:mm format)
{{CURRENTHOUR}} 10 Hour (24-hour zero-padded number)
style="background:#8DA7D6; color:black;" colspan="4"| Other
{{CURRENTWEEK}} 13 Week (number)
{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} 20240329100356 YYYYMMDDHHmmss timestamp 1.7+

The following variables do the same as the above, but using the site's server config or $wgLocaltimezone.

  • {{LOCALYEAR}}
  • {{LOCALMONTH}}
  • {{LOCALMONTHNAME}}
  • {{LOCALMONTHNAMEGEN}}
  • {{LOCALMONTHABBREV}}
  • {{LOCALDAY}}
  • {{LOCALDAY2}}
  • {{LOCALDOW}}
  • {{LOCALDAYNAME}}
  • {{LOCALTIME}}
  • {{LOCALHOUR}}
  • {{LOCALWEEK}}
  • {{LOCALTIMESTAMP}}
For more thorough time formatting, you may want to install Extension:ParserFunctions to use the #time parser function

}}

style="background:#8DA7D6; color:black;" colspan="4"| Affects page content
{{DISPLAYTITLE:title}} Format the current page's title header. The value must be equivalent to the default title: only capitalization changes and replacing spaces with underscores. It can be disabled or enabled by {{ #ifeq:

Planimate Knowledge Base

MediaWiki $wgAllowDisplayTitle $wgAllowDisplayTitle

}}; disabled by default before 1.10+, enabled by default thereafter.

1.7+
{{DEFAULTSORT:sortkey}}
{{DEFAULTSORTKEY:sortkey}}
{{DEFAULTCATEGORYSORT:sortkey}}
Used for categorizing pages, sets a default category sort key. For example if you put {{DEFAULTSORT:Smith, John}} at the end of John Smith, the page would be sorted under "S" by default in categories. 1.10+

Statistics

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, {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} → 955 and {{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}} → 955). Use "|R" for magic words that require a parameter like PAGESINCATEGORY (for example {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help}} and {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|R}}). Also applicable to {{PAGESIZE:page name}} above.

Variable Output Description Versions
style="background:#8DA7D6; color:black;" colspan="4"| Entire wiki

Page names

Variable Output Description Versions
{{FULLPAGENAME}} Help:Magic words Namespace and page title. 1.6+
{{PAGENAME}} Magic words Page title.
{{BASEPAGENAME}} Magic words Page title excluding the current subpage and namespace ("Title/foo" on "Title/foo/bar").

For more complex splitting, use {{#titleparts:}} from ParserFunctions extension.

1.7+
{{SUBPAGENAME}} Magic words The subpage title ("foo" on "Title/foo"). 1.6+
{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}} Help:Magic words The namespace and title of the associated content page. 1.7+
{{TALKPAGENAME}} Help talk:Magic words The namespace and title of the associated talk page. 1.7+

The {{BASEPAGENAME}} and {{SUBPAGENAME}} magic words only work in namespaces that have subpages enabled. See {{ #ifeq: Planimate Knowledge Base | MediaWiki | Manual:$wgNamespacesWithSubpages | Manual:$wgNamespacesWithSubpages }} for information on enabling subpages.

The following are equivalents encoded for use in MediaWiki URLs (i.e. spaces replaced with underscores and some characters percent-encoded):

  • {{FULLPAGENAMEE}}
  • {{PAGENAMEE}}
  • {{BASEPAGENAMEE}}
  • {{SUBPAGENAMEE}}
  • {{SUBJECTPAGENAMEE}}
  • {{TALKPAGENAMEE}}

As of {{ #ifeq: Planimate Knowledge Base | MediaWiki | 1.15+ | 1.15+ }}, these can all take a parameter, allowing specification of the page to be operated on, instead of just the current page:

  • {{PAGENAME:Template:Main Page}}Main Page

{{#if: Page titles containing certain characters, such as single quotes (') or asterisks *, may produce unexpected results when handled with these magic words, e.g. {{PAGESINCATEGORY:{{PAGENAME}}}}. See bugs {{ #ifeq: Planimate Knowledge Base | MediaWiki | 14779 | 14779 }}, {{ #ifeq: Planimate Knowledge Base | MediaWiki | 16474 | 16474

As of {{ #ifeq: Planimate Knowledge Base | MediaWiki | 1.15+ | 1.15+ }}, these can take a page name parameter and will return the namespace of the page name parameter, instead of the current page's:

  • {{NAMESPACE:Template:Main Page}}Template
  • {{SUBJECTSPACE:Template:Main Page}}Template
  • {{TALKSPACE:Template:Main Page}}Template talk

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 sometimes prefixed with a hash to distinguish them from templates.

This page only describes parser functions that are integral to the MediaWiki software. Other parser functions may be added by MediaWiki extensions such as the {{ #ifeq: Planimate Knowledge Base | MediaWiki | ParserFunctions extension | ParserFunctions extension }}. For those see Help:Extension:ParserFunctions.

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. {{padleft:44|3|0}} produces 044. The padding string may be truncated if its length does not evenly divide the required number of characters.
{{ #ifeq:

Outputs the singular form (second parameter) if the first parameter is an expression equalling one; the plural form (third parameter) otherwise. Plural transformations are used for languages like Russian based on "count mod 10". You should not expect this to handle fractions (like 44.5) — see bug:28128.
{{grammar:N|noun}} Outputs the correct inflected form of the given word described by the inflection code after the colon (language-dependent). Grammar transformations are used for inflected languages like Polish. See also {{ #ifeq:
