{{PD Help Page}} '''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 [[Manual:Magic words]]. ==General notes== * '''Inheritance:''' page-dependent magic words will affect or return data about the current page, regardless of whether it is in the page code or a transcluded template. ==Behaviour switches== A behaviour switch controls the layout of the page. They are written as a magic word wrapped with double underscores. {| {{prettytable}} |- !{{Hl2}}| Word !{{Hl2}}| Description !{{Hl2}}| Versions |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="3"| '''Table of contents''' |- | <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> | Hides the table of contents (TOC). | |- |<nowiki>__FORCETOC__</nowiki> | Forces the table of content to appear at its normal position (above the first header). | |- | <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki> | Places a table of contents at the word's current position (overriding <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki>). If this is used multiple times, the table of contents will appear at the first word's position. | |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="3"| '''Editing''' |- | <nowiki>__NOEDITSECTION__</nowiki> | Hides the section edit links beside headings. | |- | <nowiki>__NEWSECTIONLINK__</nowiki> | Adds a link (([[MediaWiki:Addsection|"+" by default]]) beside the "edit" tab for adding a new section on a non-talk page (see [[m:Help:Section#Adding a section at the end]]). | 1.7+ |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="3"| '''Categories''' |- | <nowiki>__NOGALLERY__</nowiki> | Used on a category page, replaces thumbnails in the category view with normal links. | 1.7+ |- | <nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki> | 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 [[Help:Preferences|user preferences]] to show them). | 1.13+ |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="3"| '''Language conversion''' |- | <nowiki>__NOCONTENTCONVERT__</nowiki><br /><nowiki>__NOCC__</nowiki> | 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. | |- | <nowiki>__NOTITLECONVERT__</nowiki><br /><nowiki>__NOTC__</nowiki> | On wikis with language variants, don't perform language conversion on the title (all other content is converted). | |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="3"| '''Other''' |- | <nowiki>__END__</nowiki> | Explicitly marks the end of the article, to prevent MediaWiki from removing trailing whitespace. Removed in [[rev:19213|19213]]. | |- | <nowiki>__START__</nowiki> | No effect. | |} ==Variables== The syntax of variables is similar to [[Help:Templates|templates]], but capitalized to help avoid conflicts. If a template has the same name and case as a variable, the variable will be used. Usage of the template can be forced by adding the "msg:" modifier (for example, "<code><nowiki>{{msg:CURRENTYEAR}}</nowiki></code>"). In some cases, adding parameters will force the parser to treat a variable as a template; for example, <code><nowiki>{{CURRENTDAYNAME|x}}</nowiki></code> tries to transclude "Template:CURRENTDAYNAME". ===Date & time=== The following variables return the current date and time according to the user's timezone [[Special:Preferences|preferences]], defaulting to the UTC timezone. Due to MediaWiki and browser caching, these variables frequently show when the page was ''cached'' rather than the current time. {| {{prettytable}} |- !{{Hl2}}| Variable !{{Hl2}}| Output !{{Hl2}}| Description !{{Hl2}}| Versions |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="4"| '''Year''' |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTYEAR}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTYEAR}} | Year | |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="4"| '''Month''' |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTH}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTMONTH}} | Month (zero-padded number) | |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} | Month (name) | |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN}} | Month ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/genitive genitive form]) | |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHABBREV}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTMONTHABBREV}} | Month (abbreviation) | 1.5+ |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="4"| '''Day''' |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTDAY}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTDAY}} | Day of the month (unpadded number) | |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTDAY2}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTDAY2}} | Day of the month (zero-padded number) | 1.6+ |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTDOW}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTDOW}} | Day of the week (unpadded number) | |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTDAYNAME}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTDAYNAME}} | Day of the week (name) | |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="4"| '''Time''' |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTTIME}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTTIME}} | Time (24-hour HH:mm format) | |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTHOUR}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTHOUR}} | Hour (24-hour zero-padded number) | |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="4"| '''Other''' |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTWEEK}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTWEEK}} | Week (number) | |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} | [[w:ISO 8601|ISO 8601]] time stamp | 1.7+ |} The following variables do the same as the above, but using the site's local timezone instead of user preferences and UTC: * <nowiki>{{LOCALYEAR}}</nowiki> * <nowiki>{{LOCALMONTH}}</nowiki> * <nowiki>{{LOCALMONTHNAME}}</nowiki> * <nowiki>{{LOCALMONTHNAMEGEN}}</nowiki> * <nowiki>{{LOCALMONTHABBREV}}</nowiki> * <nowiki>{{LOCALDAY}}</nowiki> * <nowiki>{{LOCALDAY2}}</nowiki> * <nowiki>{{LOCALDOW}}</nowiki> * <nowiki>{{LOCALDAYNAME}}</nowiki> * <nowiki>{{LOCALTIME}}</nowiki> * <nowiki>{{LOCALHOUR}}</nowiki> * <nowiki>{{LOCALWEEK}}</nowiki> * <nowiki>{{LOCALTIMESTAMP}}</nowiki> ===Technical metadata=== Revision variables return data about the '''latest edit to the current page''', even if viewing an older version of the page. {| {{prettytable}} |- !{{Hl2}}| Variable !{{Hl2}}| Output !{{Hl2}}| Description !{{Hl2}}| Versions |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="4"| '''Site''' |- | <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki> | {{SITENAME}} | The wiki's site name ({{mediawiki|Manual:$wgSitename|$wgSitename}}). | |- | <nowiki>{{CURRENTVERSION}}</nowiki> | {{CURRENTVERSION}} | The wiki's MediaWiki version. | 1.7+ |- | <nowiki>{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}</nowiki> | {{CONTENTLANGUAGE}} | The wiki's default interface language ({{mediawiki|Manual:$wgLanguageCode|$wgLanguageCode}}) | |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="4"| '''Latest revision to current page''' |- | <nowiki>{{REVISIONID}}</nowiki> | {{REVISIONID}} | Unique ID | |- | <nowiki>{{REVISIONDAY}}</nowiki> | {{REVISIONDAY}} | Day edit was made (unpadded number) | |- | <nowiki>{{REVISIONDAY2}}</nowiki> | {{REVISIONDAY2}} | Day edit was made (zero-padded number) | |- | <nowiki>{{REVISIONMONTH}}</nowiki> | {{REVISIONMONTH}} | Month edit was made (unpadded number) | |- | <nowiki>{{REVISIONYEAR}}</nowiki> | {{REVISIONYEAR}} | Year edit was made | |- | <nowiki>{{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}}</nowiki> | {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} | Timestamp as of time of edit | |} ===Statistics=== Numbers returned by these variables contain number separators, but can return raw numbers with the ":R" flag (for example, <code><nowiki>{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}</nowiki></code> = {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} and <code><nowiki>{{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}}</nowiki></code> = {{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}}). Use "|R" for magic words that require a parameter like PAGESINCATEGORY (for example <code><nowiki>{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|R}}</nowiki></code>). {| {{prettytable}} |- !{{Hl2}}| Variable !{{Hl2}}| Output !{{Hl2}}| Description !{{Hl2}}| Versions |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="4"| '''Entire wiki''' |- | <nowiki>{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}</nowiki> | {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} | Number of wiki pages. | 1.7+ |- | <nowiki>{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}</nowiki> | {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} | Number of pages in main namespace. | |- | <nowiki>{{NUMBEROFFILES}}</nowiki> | {{NUMBEROFFILES}} | Number of uploaded files. | 1.5+ |- | <nowiki>{{NUMBEROFEDITS}}</nowiki> | {{NUMBEROFEDITS}} | Number of page edits. | [[rev:21319|1.10+]] |- | <nowiki>{{NUMBEROFUSERS}}</nowiki> | {{NUMBEROFUSERS}} | Number of registered users. | 1.7+ |- | <nowiki>{{NUMBEROFADMINS}}</nowiki> | {{NUMBEROFADMINS}} | Number of users in in the ''sysop'' [[Help:User rights|group]]. | 1.7+ |- |{{Hl3}} colspan="4"| '''Per namespace''' |- | <nowiki>{{PAGESINNS:2}}</nowiki> | {{PAGESINNS:2}} | Number of pages in the given [[Help:Namespaces|namespace]] (replace 2 with the relevant namespace ID).
