Magic words (including parser functions, variables and behavior switches) are features of wiki markup that give instructions to Wikipedia's underlying MediaWiki software. For example, magic words can suppress or position the table of contents, disable indexing by external search engines, and produce output dynamically based on the current page or on user-defined conditional logic. Some of these features are especially useful for templates.

This page is a quick reference for magic words. For more information, refer to the main MediaWiki documentation:

General information

[සංස්කරණය]

In general, there are three types of magic words

  1. Behavior switches: often appear in double underscores, all uppercase, e.g., __NOTOC__. They will change the behavior of a page, rather than return a value.
  2. Parser functions: all in lowercase. A parser function will be followed by colon and pipe-separated parameters, e.g., {{#ifexpr:Y|Yes|No}}, wrapped in double braces. They will take a value and return a value.
  3. Variables: these are all uppercase, e.g., {{PAGENAME}}. A variable will be wrapped in double braces and will return a value in its place.

The software generally interprets magic words in the following way.

  • Magic words are case sensitive.
  • White space is generously allowed for readability. It will be stripped from the start and end of their keywords and parameters (as is also done inside templates).
  • They can be transcluded, even variables "about the current page". This is ensured by the parsing order.
  • Instead of magically transforming into HTML instructions, <nowiki> tags remove this magic so a magic word can itself be displayed (documented), e.g. <nowiki>{{#magic:}}</nowiki> or {{#magic:<nowiki />}}.

Magic words compared to templates:

  • As with templates, magic words can be transcluded and substituted.
  • The names of magic words are purposely chosen to be unlike the names of templates, and vice versa. Many parser function names will begin with a # (pound), but template names will not start with a #, and probably not end in a : (colon), or be all-uppercase.
  • The first parameter's syntax differs. In {{#magic: p1 | p2 | p3}}, the name is #magic and it is followed by an unspaced : and a required input parameter, p1. With a template, p1 is optional and it is preceded by a | (pipe) instead of a :, e.g. {{template|p1}}.

Behavior switches

[සංස්කරණය]

වැඩිදුර තොරතුරු: mw:Help:Magic words § Behavior switches
Switch Description
__TOC__ Places the page's table of contents (TOC) at the word's position.
__FORCETOC__ Forces the TOC to appear in its default position. Can be used anywhere on a page.
__NOTOC__ Suppresses the appearance of the page's TOC. Can be used anywhere on a page.
__NOEDITSECTION__ Hides the "edit" links normally beside all headings on the page. To hide the edit link beside a particular heading, specify the heading using e.g. an HTML tag such as <h2>heading</h2> rather than with the usual wiki equals-signs syntax (e.g. == heading == ).
__NEWSECTIONLINK__ On non-talk pages, adds a "මාතෘකාවක් එක්කරන්න" link as a means to add a new section to the page.
__NONEWSECTIONLINK__ Removes the "මාතෘකාවක් එක්කරන්න" link (the add-new-section link) on talk pages.
__NOGALLERY__ Replaces thumbnails on a category page with normal links.
__HIDDENCAT__ Makes a category hidden when included on that category's page.
__INDEX__ Instructs search engines to index the page.
__NOINDEX__ Instructs search engines not to index the page. See Wikipedia:Controlling search engine indexing.
__STATICREDIRECT__ Prevents the link on a redirection page from being updated automatically when the page to which it redirects is moved (and "Update any redirects that point to the original title" is selected). Also instructs interwiki bots to treat the page as if an article.
__DISAMBIG__ Marks a page as a disambiguation page, adds it to Special:DisambiguationPages and places inward links in Special:DisambiguationPageLinks. (See mw:Extension:Disambiguator.)
{{DISPLAYTITLE:title}} Used to amend the displayed form of the page's title.
{{DEFAULTSORT:sortkey}} Sets the default key (the index) under which the page is categorised.
{{NOEXTERNALLANGLINKS}} (equivalent to {{NOEXTERNALLANGLINKS|*}} ) Suppresses the automated inclusion of Wikidata interlanguage links on the lefthand side of the page. Links to particular rather than all languages may be suppressed by using {{NOEXTERNALLANGLINKS|list}}, where list a pipe-delimited list of language codes (e.g. {{NOEXTERNALLANGLINKS|fr|es|ja}} to suppress the French ("fr"), Spanish ("es") and Japanese ("ja") interlanguage links).

Variables

[සංස්කරණය]
කෙටි මග
වැඩිදුර තොරතුරු: mw:Help:Magic words § Variables, සහ Wikipedia:Page name § sub
Page name variable Output Description
{{FULLPAGENAME}} උදවු:Magic words Canonical page name. Title line. Title unless letter-case is altered with {{DISPLAYTITLE}}.
{{PAGENAME}} Magic words Title line excluding namespace.
{{BASEPAGENAME}} Magic words Title of parent page, excluding namespace.
{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Magic words Title of topmost parent (before all subpages), excluding namespace.
{{SUBPAGENAME}} Magic words On a subpage, rightmost portion of current title; higher subpagenames show as backlinks.
{{ARTICLEPAGENAME}} උදවු:Magic words Title of the subject page associated with the current page. These are useful on talk pages (but see note about Category talk pages).
{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}} උදවු:Magic words
{{TALKPAGENAME}} උදවු සාකච්ඡාව:Magic words Title of the talk page associated with the current page. Useful on subject pages.
{{NAMESPACENUMBER}} 12 Number of the current page's namespace.
{{NAMESPACE}} උදවු Namespace of the title.
{{ARTICLESPACE}} උදවු On a talk page, the namespace part of the title of the associated subject page.
{{SUBJECTSPACE}} උදවු
{{TALKSPACE}} උදවු සාකච්ඡාව Namespace of the talk page associated with the current page.
{{FULLPAGENAMEE}},
{{PAGENAMEE}},
 (etc.)
%E0%B6%8B%E0%B6%AF%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%94:Magic_words,
Magic_words,
(etc.)
 Adding an E to the end of the above variables, renders the above encoded for use in MediaWiki URLs (i.e. with underscores replacing spaces).
{{SHORTDESC}} Only works on the English Wikipedia, where it displays a short description below the article title on mobile platforms. See Wikipedia:Short description.

Note: The magic words above can also take a parameter, in order to parse values on a page other than the current page. A colon (:) is used to pass the parameter, rather than a pipe (|) that is used in templates, like {{MAGICWORD:value}}. For example, {{TALKPAGENAME:Wikipedia:MOS}} returns Wikipedia talk:MOS on any page.

Note: In the "Category" and "Category talk" namespaces, to wikilink (some) page name variables may require prefixing a colon to avoid unwanted categorization.

For more details on parser functions that relate to page names and namespaces, see: meta:Help:Page name#Variables and parser functions § Notes.


Site variable Example Description
{{SITENAME}} විකිපීඩියා
{{SERVER}} //si.wikipedia.org
{{SERVERNAME}} si.wikipedia.org

වැඩිදුර තොරතුරු: mw:Help:Magic words § Parser functions, සහ mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions

Metadata

[සංස්කරණය]
Function Description
{{PAGEID}} Unique page identifier number.

වැඩිදුර තොරතුරු: mw:Help:Magic words § Formatting
Function Description
{{lc:string}} Converts all characters in string to lower case.
{{lcfirst:string}} Converts first character of string to lower case.
{{uc:string}} Converts all characters in string to upper case.
{{ucfirst:string}} Converts first character of string to upper case.
{{formatnum:unformatted_number}}
{{formatnum:formatted_num |R}} 		Adds comma separators to an unformatted_number (e.g. 123456789 becomes 123,456,789). To remove such formatting, use {{formatnum:formatted_number|R}} (i.e. {{formatnum:7,654,321|R}}, for example, produces 7654321).
{{#dateformat:date|format}}
{{#formatdate:date|format}} 		Formats a date according to user preferences; a default can be given as an optional case-sensitive second parameter for users without date preference; can convert a date from an existing format to any of dmy, mdy, ymd, or ISO 8601 formats, with the user's preference overriding the specified format.
{{padleft:xyz|stringlength}}
{{padright:xyz|stringlength}}

{{padleft:xyz|length|padstr}}
{{padright:xyz|length|padstr}} 		Pad with zeroes '0' to the right or left, to fill the given length; an alternative padding string can be given as a third parameter; the repeated padding string (padstr) will be truncated if its length does not evenly divide the required number of characters.

The optional 3rd parameter is the output language code (French, German, Swedish: fr, de, sv, etc.). Example Finnish: {{#time:d F Y|June 30, 2016|fi}} shows: 30 kesäkuu 2016 (June). ISO to German: {{#time:d. M Y|1987-10-31|de}} shows: 31. Okt. 1987.
For format codes, see: mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##time. Use the format {{#time: H:i, j F Y (e)|...}} to match the format used by timestamps in signatures.
{{gender:user|m_out|f_out|u_out}} Outputs m_out, f_out or u_out according to whether the gender specified in user 's preferences is, respectively, male, female or unspecified. Other parameter permutations are available, see mw:Help:Magic words#gender and translatewiki:Gender.

{{filepath:filename}} Absolute path to the media file filename.
{{urlencode:string}} Encodes string for use in URL query strings; {{urlencode:test string}}, for example, produces: test+string. To encode string for use in URL paths or MediaWiki page names, append, respectively, |PATH or |WIKI (to produce "test%20string" or "test_string").
{{anchorencode:string}} Input encoded for use in MediaWiki URL section anchors.
{{ns:n}} Returns the name of the namespace whose index is the number n. For MediaWiki URLs, use {{nse:}}.
{{#rel2abs:path}} Converts a relative file path to an absolute path.
{{#titleparts:fullpagename|number|first segment}} Splits the fullpagename (title) into that number of segments.

Conditional

[සංස්කරණය]
වැඩිදුර තොරතුරු: Help:Conditional expressions
Function Description
{{#expr:expression}} Evaluates expression (see m:Help:Calculation).
{{#if:string |result1 |result2}} Outputs result2 if string is empty, otherwise outputs result1.
{{#ifeq:string1|string2 |result1 |result2}} Outputs result1 if string1 and string2 are equal (alphabetically or numerically), otherwise outputs result2.
{{#iferror:test_string |result1 |result2}} Outputs result1 if test_string generates a parsing error, otherwise outputs result2.
{{#ifexpr:expression |result1 |result2}} Outputs result1 if expression  is true, otherwise outputs result2.
{{#ifexist:pagetitle |result1 |result2}} Outputs result1 if the page [[pagetitle]] exists, otherwise outputs result2. Note that underscores are needed for spaces in namespaces.
{{#switch:string |c1=r1 |c2=r2 ... |default}} Outputs r1 if string is c1, r2 if string is c2, etc., otherwise outputs default (if provided).

If, in these conditional functions, empty unnamed parameters are to be parsed as empty rather than as text (i.e. as empty rather than as the text "{{{1}}}", "{{{2}}}", etc.), they will require trailing pipes (i.e. {{{1|}}}, {{{2|}}}, etc., rather than {{{1}}}, {{{2}}}, etc.).
