Magiske ord er tekststrenge, som MediaWiki forbinder med en returværdi eller funktion, såsom tid, hjemmeside-detaljer, eller side-navne. Denne side forklarer kun de almindelige magiske ord; for en teknisk reference, se Manual:Magic words .

Der er tre almindelige typer af magiske ord:

  • Adfærds-omskiftere: disse ord skrives med store bostaver omgivet med dobbelt understregning, for eks. __FOO__.

Variabler og parserfunktioner kan bruge subst:, ligesom skabeloner. Sideafhængige magiske ord vil påvirke eller returnere data om den aktuelle side (som standard), selvom ordet tilføjes via en udelukket skabelon eller inkluderet systemmeddelelse.

Adfærds-omskiftere

En adfærdskontakt styrer sidens layout eller opførsel (hvis det understøttes af huden) og kan ofte bruges til at specificere ønskede udeladelser og indeslutninger i indholdet. Især nogle af disse understøttes ikke af Minerva huden.

Ord Beskrivelse Versioner
Indholdsfortegnelse
__NOTOC__ Skjuler indholdsfortegnelsen (TOC).
__FORCETOC__ Tvinger indholdsfortegnelsen til at blive vist på sin normale position (over den første overskrft). This will not work in skins that present table of contents outside the article content e.g. Vector 2022 skin.
__TOC__ Placerer en indholdsfortegnelse på ordets aktuelle position (overskriver __NOTOC__). Hvis den bruges flere gange, vil indholdsfortegnelsen vises på det første ord position. If this is used multiple times, the table of contents will appear at the first word's position. This will not work in skins that present table of contents outside the article content e.g. Vector 2022 skin.
Redigering
__NOEDITSECTION__ Skjuler redigér ved siden af afsnits-overskrifter. Dette er særlig nyttigt, når en overskrift skabes ved hjælp af en skabelon: den normale wiki-sektionsredigering ville i dette tilfælde redigere skabelonkoden, hvilket normalt ikke er, hvad brugeren har til hensigt. Use of this in a template will extend the effect to that template, the pages it's included on, and any other templates included on the same page. A workaround is possible.
__NEWSECTIONLINK__ Tilføjer et link ved siden af "Redigér"-fanen for at tilføje et nyt afsnit på en ikke-diskussionsside (se Adding a section to the end).
1.7
__NONEWSECTIONLINK__ Fjerner linket ved siden af ​​"Redigér"-fanen på sider i diskussions-navnerum.
1.15
r47522
Kategorier
__NOGALLERY__ 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
__EXPECTUNUSEDCATEGORY__ Brugt på en kategori-side, fjerner kategorien fra Special:UnusedCategories .

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).

__END__ Markerer udtrykkeligt artiklens slutning, for at forhindre MediaWiki i at fjerne afsluttende blanke linjer. Removed in 19213.
1.1 – 1.8
__INDEX__ Bed søgemaskiner om at indeksere siden (tilsidesætter $wgArticleRobotPolicies , men ikke robots.txt). Den adlyder $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl -variablen.
1.14
__NOINDEX__ Bed søgemaskiner om ikke at indeksere siden (vis ikke i søgemaskine-resultater). Den adlyder $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl -variabel.

r37973
__STATICREDIRECT__ På omdirigerings-sider, tillad ikke, at MediaWiki automatisk opdaterer linket, når nogen flytter en side og kontrollerer "Opdater henvisninger til det oprindelige navn" (hvilket kræver $wgFixDoubleRedirects ).
1.13
r37928
__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ Used on a template page, removes the page from Special:UnusedTemplates.

If this switch is not intended to be transcluded with the template's contents, it should be used inside ‎<noinclude>...‎</noinclude> (or on a template documentation page inside ‎<includeonly>...‎</includeonly>), similarly to template categories. See Help:Templates#Controlling template inclusion .

If the switch is intended to remove from the report all pages that transclude a given template (for example, a notice that is transcluded on testcases or sandbox subpages), put the switch inside ‎<includeonly>...‎</includeonly> tags within the template page.

1.43.0-wmf.4
Gerrit change 1026897
Wikibase (client) {{NOEXTERNALLANGLINKS}} A magic word and a parser function which when invoked, will disable the Wikibase extension for a specific page, or used with parameters can suppress specific interlanguage links produced by the extension. When active, only interlanguage links present in the wikitext are used.

Variabler

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. In some cases, adding parameters will force the parser to invoke a template; for example, {{CURRENTDAYNAME|x}} transcludes Template:CURRENTDAYNAME, not the variable.

Dato og tid

Følgende variabler returnerer den aktuelle dato og tid i UTC.

På grund af MediaWiki og browser mellemlagring, viser disse variabler oftest hvornår siden var lagret, snarere end det aktuelle klokkeslæt.

The use of those variables cause pages to be cached for a more limited number of seconds. This is configured in MagicWordFactory.

Dato og klokkeslæt magiske ord er formateret i wiki indholds-sproget. Siden 1.19 afhænger de af sidens indholdssprog.

Statistik

Numbers returned by these variables normally contain separators (commas, dots or spaces, depending on the local language) but can return raw numbers with the ":R" flag (for example, {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} → 1.757.323 and {{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}} → 1757323).

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.

{{PAGENAME}} Magic words/da Full page title (including all subpage levels) without the namespace.
{{BASEPAGENAME}} Magic words Page title of the page in the immediately superior subpage level without the namespace. Would return Title/Foo on page Help:Title/Foo/Bar.
1.7
{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Magic words Name of the root of the current page. Would return Title on page Help:Title/Foo/Bar.
1.22
{{SUBPAGENAME}} da The subpage title. Would return Bar on page Help:Title/Foo/Bar.

If no subpage exists the value of {{PAGENAME}} is returned.

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

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

None of these are affected by changes to the display title using {{DISPLAYTITLE:xxxx}}; the values returned are the original page title.

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
  Advarsel: If the page title contains any parts that are "." or "..", the magic word returns nothing.
{{PAGENAME:one/./three}}Nothing is returned.
  Advarsel: 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 T16779, T18474, T37628, T37746. One simple way to fix this is wrapping the pagename in {{#titleparts:}} from the ParserFunctions extension.

URL encoded page names

The following are equivalents encoded for use in MediaWiki URLs (i.e. spaces replaced with underscores and some characters HTML escaped using numeric character encoding):

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

Note that {{PAGENAME:...}}, {{PAGENAMEE:...}} and {{urlencode:...}} have distinct implementations. See Manual:PAGENAMEE encoding for details.

Variable Output Beskrivelse Versioner
{{NAMESPACE}} Help Name of the page's namespace (except for main space)
{{NAMESPACENUMBER}} 12 ID of the page's namespace

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

  • {{NAMESPACEE}}
  • {{SUBJECTSPACEE}}
  • {{ARTICLESPACEE}}
  • {{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:

  • {{NAMESPACENUMBER:MediaWiki}}0
  • {{NAMESPACE:MediaWiki}} (Pages in main space will return empty)
  • {{NAMESPACE:Template:Main Page}}Template
  • {{SUBJECTSPACE:Template talk:Main Page}}Template
  • {{ARTICLESPACE:Template talk:Main Page}}Template
  • {{TALKSPACE:Template:Main Page}}Template talk

Parameter must not be a namespace name:

  • {{SUBJECTSPACE:Help talk}} → ' (Empty)

Escaped characters

MediaWiki interprets certain characters as markup separators in certain contexts, notably:

  • template invocations
  • tables
  • function calls.

To prevent an immediate interpretation (so that the character can be displayed literally or later interpreted as a separator), Template:Character can be used as an escape sequence, but only the following characters (replacements) are supported. This form can be clearer or at least shorter than using the equivalent <nowiki>character</nowiki> .

Syntax Output Beskrivelse Versioner
{{!}} |

Used to include a vertical bar (pipe).

For historical/technical reasons, this is not an escape sequence properly speaking. The syntax uses a resembling character, the exclamation mark, instead of the vertical bar.

See Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#Escaping pipe characters in tables for further explanation.

Before this was added as a magic word, many wikis implemented this by creating Template:! with | as the content.

1.24
Gerrit change 136234
{{=}} =

Used to include an equal sign.

See Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#Raw equal signs for further explanation.

Before this was added as a magic word, many wikis implemented this by creating Template:= with = as the content.

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 Extension:ParserFunctions . For those see Help:Extension:ParserFunctions .

  • 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 viewed version for page view, including viewing old revisions. In this case it is a non-expensive parser function.

The following are equivalents encoded for use in MediaWiki URLs (some characters percent-encoded):

  • {{localurle:page name}}
  • {{localurle:page name|query_string}}
  • {{fullurle:page name}}
  • {{fullurle:page name|query_string}}
  • {{fullurle:interwiki:remote page name|query_string}}
  • {{canonicalurle:page name}}
  • {{canonicalurle:page name|query_string}}
  • {{canonicalurle:interwiki:remote page name|query_string}}

{{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.

The main namespace has no name, i.e. {{ns:0}} returns an empty string. For explicitly referring to the main namespace, {{int:Blanknamespace}} can be used, resulting in "(Hoved)".

{{nse:}} is the equivalent encoded for MediaWiki URLs. It does the same, but it replaces spaces with underscores, making it usable in external links.

  • Simple:
    • {{formatnum:987654321.654321}}
      → 987.654.321,654321
    • {{formatnum:987.654.321,654321|R}}
      → 987654321.654321
  • Advanced:
    • {{formatnum:{{formatnum:987654321.654321}}|R}}
      → 987654321.654321 (on any locale)
    • {{formatnum:00001}}
      → 00.001
    • {{formatnum:987654321.654321 |NOSEP}}
      → 987654321.654321
    • Examples with Bangla locale:
      • {{formatnum:987654321.654321}}
        → ৯৮,৭৬,৫৪,৩২১.৬৫৪৩২১
      • {{formatnum:987654321.654321 |NOSEP}}
        → ৯৮৭৬৫৪৩২১.৬৫৪৩২১
      • {{formatnum:৯৮,৭৬,৫৪,৩২১.৬৫৪৩২১ |R}}
        → 987654321.654321

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&nbsp;654,321|R}}

Takes an unformatted number (Arabic, 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 page language.

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 which are known to be formatted exactly as formatnum formats them with the wiki's locale.
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.

  Advarsel: Leading zeroes are not removed, you can use {{#expr:00001}} instead if you have Extension:ParserFunctions installed.

  Advarsel: If you don't input numbers in the exact format required, don't expect any reliable output, especially on non-English wikis.


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). Be aware that this is more a hack than a regular way to proceed, thus the output may be not reliable.

→ 2009 dec 25 (your pref), 2009-12-25 (default)
{{#dateformat:25 decEmber|mdy}}
december 25 (your pref), December 25 (default)

Note: In the examples above, "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.
  Advarsel: 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|_}} → __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.

Wraps the text in a script-appropriate directionality marker (either left-to-right (U+202A) or right-to-left (U+202B)) and a pop directionality formatting character (U+202C), to ensure directionality safety when using a mix of scripts in running text.

Localization

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, and #Formatting. More magic words are added by the Udvidelse:Oversæt .

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.

Internationalizes (translates) the given interface (MediaWiki namespace) message into the user language. For msgnw and other transclusion magic words, see the Transclusion modifiers section.

Note that this can damage / confuse cache consistency in MediaWiki 1.17 and earlier, see T16404.

{{int:editsectionhint|MediaWiki}} {{int:editsectionhint|MediaWiki}}Edit section: MediaWiki 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.

Transclusion modifiers

{{Page name|optional params}} usually transcludes another page, by default from the Template:namespace. These magic words modify that behavior.
