'''Magic words''' (including '''parser functions''', '''variables''' and '''behavior switches''') are features of [[Help:Wiki markup|wiki markup]] that give instructions to BattleTechWiki's underlying [[w:MediaWiki|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 [[BattleTechWiki:Templates|templates]].

This page is a quick reference for magic words. For more information, refer to the main MediaWiki documentation:
* [[mw:Help:Magic words]]: All standard magic words, including the "standard" parser functions.
* [[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions]]: Additional parser functions, including conditional expressions.

==General information==

In general, there are three types of magic words.
# '''[[#Behavior switches|Behavior switches]]''': often appear in double underscores, all uppercase, e.g., <code>__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.

The software generally interprets magic words in the following way:
* Magic words are [[w:case sensitive|case sensitive]].
* [[w: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 [[BattleTechWiki: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>([[w:Hash (character)|pound or hash]]), but template names 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>.

! scope=col | Description
|-
! scope=row id=TOC | <kbd><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></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 | <kbd><nowiki>__FORCETOC__</nowiki></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=NOTOC | <kbd><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></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 [[w:HTML element|HTML tag]] such as {{tag|h2|content=''heading''}} rather than with the usual wiki equals-signs syntax (e.g. {{nowrap|1=<kbd>== ''heading'' ==</kbd>}}{{thinsp}}).
|-
! scope=row id=ARCHIVEDTALK | <kbd><nowiki>__ARCHIVEDTALK__</nowiki></kbd>
| Hides the [[:mw:Talk_pages_project/Replying|"Reply" button]]
|-
! scope=row id=NEWSECTIONLINK | <kbd><nowiki>__NEWSECTIONLINK__</nowiki></kbd>
| On non-talk pages, adds a "{{int:vector-action-addsection}}" link as a means to add a new section to the page.

|-
! scope=row id=STATICREDIRECT | <kbd><nowiki>__STATICREDIRECT__</nowiki></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 | <kbd><nowiki>__DISAMBIG__</nowiki></kbd>
| Marks a page as a [[BTW:DAB|disambiguation page]], adds it to [[Special:DisambiguationPages]] and places inward links in [[Special:DisambiguationPageLinks]]. (See [[mw:Extension:Disambiguator]].)
|-
! scope=row id=DISPLAYTITLE | <kbd>{<nowiki/>{DISPLAYTITLE:''title''}}</kbd>
| Used to amend the displayed form of the page's title.
|-

|}

''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 (<kbd>:</kbd>) is used to pass the parameter, rather than a pipe (<kbd>{{!}}</kbd>) that is used in templates, like <kbd><nowiki>{{MAGICWORD:value}}</nowiki></kbd>. For example, <kbd><nowiki>{{TALKPAGENAME:BattleTechWiki:MOS}}</nowiki></kbd> returns <samp><nowiki>BattleTechWiki 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.

===Formatting===
{{further|mw:Help:Magic words#Formatting}}

| Adds comma separators to an ''unformatted_number'' (e.g. 123456789 becomes {{formatnum:123456789}}). To remove such formatting, use <kbd>{<nowiki/>{formatnum:''formatted_number''{{pipe}}R}}</kbd> (i.e. <kbd>{{braces|formatnum:7,654,321{{pipe}}R}}</kbd>, for example, produces {{formatnum:7,654,321|R}}).

| 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.
|-
! scope=row id=mwplural | <kbd>{<nowiki/>{plural:''N''{{pipe}}''singular''{{pipe}}''plural''}}</kbd>
| Outputs ''singular'' if ''N'' is equal to 1, otherwise outputs ''plural''. See the [[mw:Help:Magic words#Localization|documentation at mediawiki.org]] for more details.

| Used to format dates and times, for ISO format, dots or English month names. <kbd>#timel</kbd> is based on local time as defined for each wiki; for English Wikipedia, this is identical to <kbd>#time</kbd>. The optional 3rd parameter is the output language code (French, German, Swedish: fr, de, sv, etc.). Example Finnish: <kbd><nowiki>{{#time:d F Y|June 30, 2016|fi}}</nowiki></kbd> shows: {{#time:d F Y|June 30, 2016|fi}} (June). ISO to German: <kbd><nowiki>{{#time:d.

If, in these conditional functions, [[w: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. <kbd>{{(((}}1{{pipe}}{{)))}}</kbd>, <kbd>{{(((}}2{{pipe}}{{)))}}</kbd>, etc., rather than <kbd>{{(((}}1{{)))}}</kbd>, <kbd>{{(((}}2{{)))}}</kbd>, etc.).

	'''Magic words''' (including '''parser functions''', '''variables''' and '''behavior switches''') are features of [[Help:Wiki markup\|wiki markup]] that give instructions to ~~BattleTechWiki~~'s underlying [[w:MediaWiki\|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 [[~~BattleTechWiki~~:Templates\|templates]].
