Line 15:

In general, there are three types of magic words.

# '''[[#Behavior switches|Behavior switches]]''': often appear in double underscores, all uppercase, e.g., <code>__NOTOC____NOTOC<nowiki/>__</code>. They will change the behavior of a page, rather than return a value.

# '''[[#Parser functions|Parser functions]]''': all in lowercase. A parser function will be followed by colon and pipe-separated parameters, e.g., <code><nowiki>{{#ifexpr:Y|Yes|No}}</nowiki></code>, wrapped in double braces. They will take a value and return a value.

# '''[[#Variables|Variables]]''': these are all uppercase, e.g., {{tld|PAGENAME}}. A variable will be wrapped in double braces and will return a value in its place.

Line 23:

* [[Whitespace character|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 in template calls using named parameters).

* They can be [[WP:Transclusion|transcluded]], even variables "about the current page". This is ensured by the parsing order.

* Instead of magically transforming into HTML instructions, {{tag|[[help:wikitext#Nowiki|nowiki]]|o}} tags remove this magic so a magic word can itself be displayed (documented), e.g. <code><nowiki><nowiki>{{#magic:}}</nowiki></nowiki></code>or <code><nowiki>{{#magic:<nowiki/>}}</nowiki></code>.

Magic words compared to templates:

* As with templates, magic words can be [[help:transclusion|transcluded]] and [[Help:substitution|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 <code>#</code>([[Hash (character)|pound or hash]]), but template names [[wp:NCHASHTAG | will not start with a <code>#</code>]], and probably not end in a <code>:</code>(colon), or be all-uppercase.

* The first parameter's syntax differs. In <code>{{#magic: <nowiki/>p1 | p2 | p3}}</code>, the name is <code>#magic</code>and it is followed by an unspaced <code>:</code>and a required input parameter, <code>p1</code>. With a template, <code>p1</code>is optional and it is preceded by a <code>|</code>(pipe) instead of a <code>:</code>, e.g. <code>{{template<nowiki/>|p1}}</code>.

Most magic words can be used in any needed locations on a page; see [[MOS:ORDER]] for guidance on where to place magic words that are behavior switches.

! scope=col | Description

|-

! scope=row id=TOC | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>__TOC__</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd>

| Places the page's [[Help:Table of contents|table of contents (TOC)]] at the word's position. This magic word does not work in skins that present the table of contents outside the article content e.g. the default Vector 2022 skin.

|-

! scope=row id=FORCETOC | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>__FORCETOC__</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd>

| Forces the TOC to appear in its default position, even when there are fewer than four headings. Can be used anywhere on a page. This magic word does not work in skins that present the table of contents outside the article content e.g. the default Vector 2022 skin.

|-

! scope=row id=NOEDITSECTION | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>__NOEDITSECTION__</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd>

| 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 element|HTML tag]] such as {{tag|h2|content=''heading''}} rather than with the usual wiki equals-signs syntax (e.g. {{nowrap|1=<syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd>== ''heading'' ==</syntaxhighlightkbd>}}{{thinsp}}).

|-

! scope=row id=ARCHIVEDTALK | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>__ARCHIVEDTALK__</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd>

| Hides the [[:mw:Talk_pages_project/Replying|"Reply" button]]

|-

! scope=row id=NEWSECTIONLINK | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>__NEWSECTIONLINK__</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd>

| Removes the "{{int:vector-action-addsection}}" link (the add-new-section link) on talk pages.

|-

! scope=row id=NOGALLERY | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>__NOGALLERY__</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd>

| Replaces thumbnails on a category page with normal links.

|-

! scope=row id=HIDDENCAT | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd>

| Makes a category [[WP:HIDDENCAT|hidden]] when included on that category's page.

|-

! scope=row id=INDEX | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>__INDEX__</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd>

| Instructs [[Web search engine|search engine]]s to index the page.

|-

! scope=row id=NOINDEX | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>__NOINDEX__</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd>

| Instructs search engines not to index the page. See [[Wikipedia:Controlling search engine indexing]].

|-

! scope=row id=STATICREDIRECT | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>__STATICREDIRECT__</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd>

| Prevents the link on a [[Help:Redirect|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).

|-

! scope=row id=DISAMBIG | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>__DISAMBIG__</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd>

| Marks a page as a [[WP:DAB|disambiguation page]], adds it to [[Special:DisambiguationPages]] and places inward links in [[Special:DisambiguationPageLinks]]. (See [[mw:Extension:Disambiguator]].)

|-

! scope=row id=DISPLAYTITLE | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd>{<nowiki/>{DISPLAYTITLE:''title''}}</syntaxhighlightkbd>

| Used to amend the [[WP:DISPLAYTITLE|displayed form]] of the page's title.

|-

! scope=row id=DEFAULTSORT | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd>{<nowiki/>{DEFAULTSORT:''sortkey''}}</syntaxhighlightkbd>

| Sets the default [[Help:Category#Sorting category pages|key]] (the index) under which the page is categorised. Functionality is documented at {{section link|Help:Category#Default sort key}}, and guidelines are at {{section link|Wikipedia:Categorization#Sort keys}}.

|-

! scope=row id=NOEXTERNALLANGLINKS | <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd>[[mw:Wikibase/Installation/Advanced configuration#noexternallanglinks|{<nowiki/>{NOEXTERNALLANGLINKS}}]]</syntaxhighlightkbd>

|| (equivalent to {<nowiki/>{NOEXTERNALLANGLINKS|*}}{{thinsp}}) Suppresses the automated inclusion of [[Wikidata:Help:Linking Wikipedia pages|Wikidata]] [[Help:Interlanguage links|interlanguage links]] on the lefthand side of the page. Links to particular rather than all languages may be suppressed by using {<nowiki/>{NOEXTERNALLANGLINKS|''list''}}, where ''list'' a [[Vertical bar|pipe]]-[[Delimiter|delimited]] list of [[language code]]s (e.g. {<nowiki/>{NOEXTERNALLANGLINKS|fr{{pipe}}es{{pipe}}ja}} to suppress the French ("fr"), Spanish ("es") and Japanese ("ja") interlanguage links).

''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 (<syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd>:</syntaxhighlightkbd>) is used to pass the parameter, rather than a pipe (<syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd>{{!}}</syntaxhighlightkbd>) that is used in templates, like <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>{{MAGICWORD:value}}</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd>. For example, <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>{{TALKPAGENAME:Wikipedia:MOS}}</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd> returns <samp><nowiki>Wikipedia talk:MOS</nowiki></samp> on any page.

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

| Used to format dates and times, for ISO format, dots or English month names. <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd>#timel</syntaxhighlightkbd> is based on local time as defined for each wiki; for English Wikipedia, this is identical to <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd>#time</syntaxhighlightkbd>.<br />The optional 3rd parameter is the output language code (French, German, Swedish: fr, de, sv, etc.). Example Finnish: <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>{{#time:d F Y|June 30, 2016|fi}}</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd> shows: {{#time:d F Y|June 30, 2016|fi}} (June). ISO to German: <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>{{#time:d. M Y|1987-10-31|de}}</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd> shows: {{#time:d. M Y|1987-10-31|de}}.<br />For format codes, see: [[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##time]]. Use the format <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd><nowiki>{{#time: H:i, j F Y (e)|...}}</syntaxhighlightnowiki></kbd> to match the format used by timestamps in signatures.

If, in these conditional functions, [[Empty string|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. <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd>{{(((}}1{{pipe}}{{)))}}</syntaxhighlightkbd>, <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd>{{(((}}2{{pipe}}{{)))}}</syntaxhighlightkbd>, etc., rather than <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd>{{(((}}1{{)))}}</syntaxhighlightkbd>, <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext"kbd>{{(((}}2{{)))}}</syntaxhighlightkbd>, etc.).
