__START__ does nothing, and it is considered a magic word only because it has an ID in MagicWord.php (MAG_START).

Magic words
PAGENAMEE
A variable. Like PAGENAME but with full language expansion to URL safe coding; see US-ASCII. If used in multiply-nested template, will be expanded in the context of the page you're actually looking at (the highest level page in the template stack); this is likely true for all magic words.
Magic_words
NAMESPACE
A variable.
MSG:
A template modifier, i.e. {{msg:stub}} shows
{{Stub}}
The use of msg has an effect when a template name clashes with a magic word. For example, if [[Template:CURRENTMONTHNAME]] contained "Test", then {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} would display "April" but {{msg:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} would display "Test".
SUBST:
A template modifier. Replaces the reference to the template (e.g. {{subst:template}}) with the content of the template.
e.g. {{subst:stub}} copies the {{stub}} contents below to the article, without using the template.
This article is a stub. You can help Wikimedia by expanding it.
SUBST: can be helpful to avoid the overuse of meta-templates.
MSGNW:
A template modifier. Causes the template source to be pasted.
So <pre>{{msgnw:stub}}</pre> outputs:
{{msgnw:stub}}
__END__
Allows for trailing whitespace to be deliberately included in the page save.
INT:
A special template. Used for UI messages, works the same as "MediaWiki:".
{{INT:mainpage}} gives the content of MediaWiki:mainpage:
Main Page
SITENAME
A variable.
