Magiske ord er tekststrenge, som MediaWiki forbinder med en returværdi eller funktion, såsom tid, hjemmeside-detaljer, eller side-navne. Denne side omhandler brug af standard magiske ord. Se manualen for teknisk reference på dansk.
Der er tre almindelige typer af magiske ord:
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.
Side-afhængige magiske ord vil påvirke eller returnere data om den aktuelle side (som standard), selv hvis ordet er tilføjet gennem en indsat skabelon eller medtaget systemmeddelelse.
Tvinger indholdsfortegnelsen til at blive vist på sin normale position (over den første overskrft).
__TOC__
Placerer en indholdsfortegnelse på ordets aktuelle position (overskriver __NOTOC__). Hvis den bruges flere gange, vil indholdsfortegnelsen vises på det første ord position.
Editing
__NOEDITSECTION__
Hides the section edit links beside headings. This is especially useful, where a heading is created from within a template: the normal wiki section-edit would in this case edit the template code, which is normally counterintuitive to the user. If a template contains multiple headings, it may be necessary to add "__NOEDITSECTION__" after each heading.
__NEWSECTIONLINK__
Tilføjer et link ("+" som standard) ved siden af "redigér"-fanen for at tilføje et nyt afsnit på en ikke-diskussionsside (se meta).
≥ 1.7
__NONEWSECTIONLINK__
Fjerner linket ved siden af "redigér"-fanen på sider i diskussions-navnerum.
Bruges på en kategori-side og erstatter miniature-billeder i kategorien med normale links.
≥ 1.7
__HIDDENCAT__
Bruges på en kategori-side og skjuler kategorien fra listen over kategorier i dets medlems- og forældre-kategorier (der er mulighed for ved hjælp af brugerindstillinger at vise dem).
≥ 1.13
Konvertering af sprog
__NOCONTENTCONVERT__ __NOCC__
På wikier med sprogvarianter, udfør ikke nogen indholdssprog-konvertering (bogstaver og bøjningsform) i artikel-visning. For eksempel vis kun kinesisk (zh), i stedet for varianter som zh_cn, zh_tw, zh_sg, eller zh_hk.
__NOTITLECONVERT__ __NOTC__
På wikier med sprogvarianter, udfør ikke nogen sprog-konvertering af titlen (al andet indhold konverteres).
Andet
__START__
Ingen virkning.
__END__
Markerer udtrykkeligt artiklens slutning, for at forhindre MediaWiki i at fjerne afsluttende blanke linjer. Fjernet i 19213.
1.1 – 1.8
__INDEX__
Bed søgemaskiner om at indeksere siden (tilsidesætter $wgArticleRobotPolicies, men ikke robots.txt).
≥ 1.14
__NOINDEX__
Bed søgemaskiner om ikke at indeksere siden (vis ikke i søgemaskine-resultater).
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" (which requires $wgFixDoubleRedirects).
Variabler returnerer information om den aktuelle side, wiki eller dato. Deres syntaks ligner skabeloner. Variabler markeret som "[expensive]" spores af softwaren, og antallet, der kan medtages på en side, er begrænset.
Hvis en skabelon navnekonflikter med en variabel, vil variablen blive brugt (så for at indsætte skabelonen Template:PAGENAME er det nødvendigt at skrive {{Template:PAGENAME}}). I nogle tilfælde vil tilføjelse af parametre tvinge parseren, til at aktivere en skabelon, for eksempel så {{CURRENTDAYNAME|x}} indsætter Template:CURRENTDAYNAME, og ikke variablen.
Domænenavn (ikke længere afhængig af $wgServerName fra version 1.17).
{{DIRMARK}} {{DIRECTIONMARK}}
Resulterer i et unicode-visning mærke, der matcher wikiens standard sprogretning (‎ på venstre-til-højre wikier, ‏ på højre-til-venstre wikier), nyttigt i tekst med multi-retningsbestemt tekst. Siden version 1.19 afhænger det af sidens indholdssprog.
Udsender beskyttelsesniveauet (fx "autoconfirmed", "sysop") for en given handling (f.eks "redigér", "flyt") på den aktuelle side eller en tom streng, hvis den ikke er beskyttet.
[Expensive] Returns the sources of any cascading protection acting on the current page. Pages will not return their own title unless they transclude themselves.
Format the current page's title header. The value must be equivalent to the default title: only capitalization changes and replacing spaces with underscores are allowed (this can be changed with $wgRestrictDisplayTitle). It can be disabled or enabled by $wgAllowDisplayTitle; disabled by default before 1.10+, enabled by default thereafter.
It can take a second argument of noerror or noreplace to suppress error messages when multiple displaytitles are used on one page or to make this displaytitle do nothing if a displaytitle was already specified earlier in the page.
Bruges til at kategorisere sider, sætter en standard kategori sorteringsnøgle. For eksempel, hvis du skriver {{DEFAULTSORT:Smith, John}} i slutningen af John Smith, vil siden blive sorteret under "S" som standard i kategorier. Den kan som andet argument tage noerror eller noreplace, for at undertrykke fejlmeddelelser, når flere defaultsortkey bruges på en side, eller for at undlade at gøre noget, hvis flere defaultsortkey anvendes.
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}} → 216.849 and {{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}} → 216849).
Use "|R" for magic words that require a parameter like PAGESINCATEGORY (for example {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help}} and {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|R}}, or {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|subcats}} and {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|subcats|R}}). Also applicable to {{PAGESIZE:page name}} hereinbefore.
The number magic words are formatted in the wiki content language. Since 1.19, it depends on the page content language.
[Expensive] Number of pages in the given namespace (replace index with the relevant namespace index). For instance, {{PAGESINNAMESPACE:14}} will output the number of category pages. {{PAGESINNS:0}} differs from {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} in that the former includes redirects and disambiguation pages. Disabled by default, enable with $wgAllowSlowParserFunctions.
The subpage title ("bar" on "Help:Title/foo/bar").
≥ 1.6
{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}} {{ARTICLEPAGENAME}}
Help:Magic words/da
Help:Magic words/da
Full page name of the associated subject (e.g. article or file). Useful on talk pages.
≥ 1.7
{{TALKPAGENAME}}
Help talk:Magic words/da
Full page name of the associated talk page.
≥ 1.7
The {{BASEPAGENAME}} and {{SUBPAGENAME}} magic words only work in namespaces that have subpages enabled. See $wgNamespacesWithSubpages for information on enabling subpages.
As of 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
Warning:
Page titles containing certain characters, such as apostrophes ' or asterisks *, may produce unexpected results when handled with these magic words, e.g. {{PAGESINCATEGORY:{{PAGENAME}}}}. See bugs 14779, 16474, 35628, and 35746. One simple way to fix this is wrapping the pagename in #titleparts (parser function).
For example, if page name is "L'Aquila", the following code will produce the string "Numeric char encoding":
{{#switch:{{PAGENAME}}
| L'Aquila = No translation
| L = Not OK
| L'Aquila = Entity escaping
| L'Aquila = Numeric char encoding
}}
The following are equivalents encoded for use in MediaWiki URLs (spaces replaced with underscores and some characters percent-encoded):
{{NAMESPACEE}}
{{SUBJECTSPACEE}}
{{TALKSPACEE}}
As of 1.15+, these can take a full-page-name parameter and will return the requested namespace associated with that page, instead of with the current page:
Used to include a pipe character as part of a template argument. Before this was added as a magic word, many wikis implemented this by creating Template:! with | as the content.
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 Extension:ParserFunctions. For those see Help:Extension:ParserFunctions.
[Expensive] Outputs the protection level (e.g. "autoconfirmed", "sysop") for a given action (e.g. "edit", "move") on the specified page. Returns an empty string if not protected.
[Expensive] Returns the sources of any cascading protection acting on the specified page. Pages will not return their own title unless they transclude themselves.
*When the given param is equal to the current title of the parser, the parser function will yield the previous versions on preview and on substitution, that includes empty strings when used on page creation, but using the values from the current version for page view, including viewing old revisions. In this case it is a non-expensive parser function.
A protocol-relative path to the title. This will also resolve interwiki prefixes. Note: Unbracketed (plain) protocol-relative links are not automagically linked.
{{urlencode:x:y/z á é}} (or {{urlencode:x:y/z á é|QUERY}}) → x%3Ay%2Fz+%C3%A1+%C3%A9 {{urlencode:x:y/z á é|WIKI}} → x:y/z_%C3%A1_%C3%A9 {{urlencode:x:y/z á é|PATH}} → x%3Ay%2Fz%20%C3%A1%20%C3%A9
Note that the default changed from |WIKI to |QUERY in 1.17; this may break templates that rely on this function.
The input encoded for use in URLs. Note that there is no urldecode function like there is in the obsolete Extension:StringFunctions.
{{ns:}} returns the current localized name for the namespace with that index, canonical name, or local alias. Thus {{ns:6}}, {{ns:File}}, and {{ns:Image}} (an old name for the File namespace) all return "File". On a wiki where the content language is French, {{ns:Fichier}} is also valid, but {{ns:Datei}} (the localisation of "File" in German) is not.
{{nse:}} is the equivalent encoded for MediaWiki URLs. It does the same, but it replaces spaces with underscores, making it usable in external links.
Unsupported: {{formatnum:{{formatnum:987.654.321}}}}
→ 987 654 321 (e.g. with Italian locale)
Examples of wrong input (unreliable output), with or without |R: {{formatnum:987,654.321|R}} (the least broken) {{formatnum:987.654,321|R}} {{formatnum:987 654,321|R}} {{formatnum:987 654,321|R}}
Takes an unformatted number (arab, no group separators and . as decimal separator) and outputs it in the localized digit script and formatted with decimal and decimal group separators, according to the wiki's default locale.
The |R parameter can be used to reverse the behavior, for use in mathematical situations: it's reliable and should be used only to deformat numbers who are known to be formatted exactly as formatnum formats them with the wiki's locale. Warning: Leading zeroes are not removed, you can use {{#expr:00001}} instead if you have Extension:ParserFunctions installed.
Warning: If you don't input numbers in the exact format required, don't expect any reliable output, especially on non-English wikis.
Warning: The NOSEP ("no separators") parameter means that no group / decimal separators are changed; formatnum will only transform the digits themselves in languages which don't use the Hindu–Arabic numeral system. NOSEP can also prevent non-standard digit groupings you wouldn't expect.
If you really need to format (according the wiki's locale) a number in unknown input format, you could try and use formatnum two times (but not if it can have a decimal group, or its separator will be eaten or the number won't be formatted).
{{#dateformat:25 deC 2009|ymd}}
→ 2009 DeC 25 (your pref), 2009 DeC 25 (default) {{#formatdate:dec 25,2009|dmy}}
→ 25 Dec 2009 (your pref), 25 Dec 2009 (default) {{#dateformat:2009-12-25|mdy}}
→ december 25, 2009 (your pref), December 25, 2009 (default) {{#formatdate:2009 dec 25|ISO 8601}}
→ 2009-12-25 (your pref), 2009-12-25 (default) {{#dateformat:25 decEmber|mdy}}
→ DecEmber 25 (your pref), DecEmber 25 (default) Note: In the example hereinbefore, "your pref" refers to your date preference on the current MediaWiki wiki only.
Formats an unlinked date based on user "date format" preference, and adds metadata tagging it as a formatted date. For logged-out users and those who have not set a date format in their preferences, dates can be given a default: mdy, dmy, ymd, ISO 8601 (all case sensitive). If only the month and day are given, only mdy and dmy are valid. If a format is not specified or is invalid, the input format is used as a default. If the supplied date is not recognized as a valid date (specifically, if it contains any metadata such as from a nested use of these or similar templates), it is rendered unchanged, and no (additional) metadata is generated.
Warning: Although the ISO 8601 standard requires that dates be in the Gregorian calendar, the ISO parameter in this function will still format dates that fall outside the usual Gregorian range (e.g. dates prior to 1583). Also, the magic word cannot properly convert between negative years (used with ISO 8601) and years BC or years BCE (used in general writing).
{{padleft:xyz|5}} → 00xyz {{padleft:xyz|5|_}} → __xyz {{padleft:xyz|5|abc}} → abxyz {{padleft:xyz|2}} → xyz {{padleft:|1|xyz}} → x (first character of the string)
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.
Only the first character of the third parameter is used in versions up to 1.12, but by version 1.15 all the characters are used.
Bug (fixed in r45734): multibyte characters are interpreted as two characters, which can skew width. These also cannot be used as padding characters.
Here are the magic words which are used as main localisation tools. Other magic words will often depend on the wiki's locale and configuration or on the chosen language: see in particular #Date and time, #Formatting, #Miscellaneous. More magic words are added by the Extension:Translate.
The usage of these magic words can be very complex, and the documentation is currently incomplete; there's some more info on PLURAL, GRAMMAR, GENDER.

{{plural:2|is|are}}
{{plural:0|is|are}} → are {{plural:1*1|is|are}} → is {{plural:21 mod 10|is|are}} → are {{plural:{{#expr:21 mod 10}}|is|are}} → is {{plural:1|is|are}} → is {{plural:2|is|are}} → are
(For Russian) {{PLURAL:5|1=Категория|Категории}} → Категории
Outputs the singular form (second parameter) if the first parameter is an expression equalling one; the plural form (third parameter) otherwise. Its functioning is language-dependent.
Some language codes (ab, av, ba, bxr, ce, crh_cyrl, cv, inh, koi, krc, kv, lbe, lez, mhr, mrj, myv, ru, tt_cyrl, tyv, udm, xal) used 3 plural forms (updated 01.2014):
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 $wgGrammarForms.
≥ 1.7
{{gender:username|text for every gender}}
{{gender:Username|male text|female text|text for unspecified}} {{gender:|male text|female text|text for unspecified}} {{gender:.|male text|female text|text for unspecified}}
Note: The first example is basically a no-op Note: If 3rd parameter is omitted and user hasn't defined his/her gender, then text if user is male is returned.
A blank username field ({{gender:|) means the current user.
A dot username (.) means the default user gender on this wiki.
{{int:edit}} → Edit (Depends on user language; try: fr • ja)
Internationalizes (translates) the given interface (MediaWiki namespace) message into the user language. For msgnw and other transclusion magic words, see Help:Magic words#Template modifiers.
Note that this can damage / confuse cache consistency in MediaWiki 1.17 and earlier, see bug 14404.
You may also use parameters with translations.
Parameters are designated in messages with: $1, $2, $3, etc.
For example, here is the message for editsectionhint: Edit section: $1
In this example, MediaWiki replaces $1.
{{#language:language code}} {{#language:ar}} {{#language:language code| target language code}} {{#language:ar|en}}
language code
العربية
language code
Arabic
The full name of the language for the given language code: native name (language autonym) by default, name translated in target language if a target language code is specified. Extension:CLDR must be installed for the translation to work.
Alias for XML-style MediaWiki parser tags or extension tags. It allows execution of wiki code and Extension:ParserFunctions within tags before the tag is processed. It also prevents parsing of tags in conditional paths that aren't executed (like in #if statements). Content between tags is passed as the first parameter, and any attributes for the tags can be passed as subsequent parameters. This example:
{{#tag:ref|Citation text goes here, and you can include parser functions like {{#expr: ... }} and magic words like {{PAGENAME}}.|name="multiple"}}
Warning: You must write {{#tag:tagname||attribute1=value1|attribute2=value2}} to pass an empty content. No space is permitted in the area reserved for content between the pipe characters || before attribute1.
