*[[Main Page]]

== <nowiki>#redirect</nowiki> ==
Indicates a [[Help:Redirect|redirect]]

== <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> ==
Hides the table of contents.

== <nowiki>__FORCETOC__</nowiki> ==
Always show the table of contents.

== <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki> ==
Place the table of contents here.

== <nowiki>__NOEDITSECTION__</nowiki> ==
Hide the edit links.

== <nowiki>__START__</nowiki> ==
<nowiki>__START__</nowiki> does nothing, and it is considered a magic word only because it has an ID in <tt>MagicWord.php</tt> (<code>MAG_START</code>).

== <nowiki>CURRENTMONTH</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Variable|variable]].

{{CURRENTMONTH}}

== <nowiki>CURRENTMONTHNAME</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Variable|variable]].

{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}

== <nowiki>CURRENTDAY</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Variable|variable]].

{{CURRENTDAY}}

== <nowiki>CURRENTDAYNAME</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Variable|variable]].

{{CURRENTDAYNAME}}

== <nowiki>CURRENTYEAR</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Variable|variable]].

{{CURRENTYEAR}}

== <nowiki>CURRENTTIME</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Variable|variable]].

{{CURRENTTIME}}

== <nowiki>NUMBEROFARTICLES</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Variable|variable]].

{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}

== <nowiki>CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Variable|variable]].

{{CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN}}

== <nowiki>PAGENAME</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Variable|variable]].

{{PAGENAME}}

== <nowiki>PAGENAMEE</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Variable|variable]]. Like PAGENAME but with full language expansion to URL safe coding; see [[w:ASCII|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.

{{PAGENAMEE}}

== <nowiki>NAMESPACE</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Variable|variable]].

{{NAMESPACE}}

== <nowiki>MSG:</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Template|template]] modifier, i.e. <nowiki>{{msg:stub}}</nowiki> shows

<nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki>
----
The use of msg has an effect when a template name clashes with a magic word. For example, if <nowiki>[[Template:CURRENTMONTHNAME]]</nowiki> contained "Test", then <nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}</nowiki> would display "{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}" but <nowiki>{{msg:CURRENTMONTHNAME}}</nowiki> would display "Test".

== <nowiki>SUBST:</nowiki> ==
A template modifier. Replaces the reference to the template (e.g. <nowiki>{{subst:template}}</nowiki>) with the content of the template.

e.g. <nowiki>{{subst:stub}}</nowiki> copies the <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> contents below to the article, without using the template.

''This article is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Stub stub]. You can [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Find_or_fix_a_stub help] Wikimedia by [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Template:Stub&action=edit expanding it].''

SUBST: can be helpful to avoid the overuse of meta-templates.

== <nowiki>MSGNW:</nowiki> ==
A template modifier. Causes the template source to be pasted.

So <nowiki><pre>{{msgnw:stub}}</pre></nowiki> outputs:
----
<nowiki>{{msgnw:stub}}</nowiki>
----

== <nowiki>__END__</nowiki> ==
Allows for trailing whitespace to be deliberately included in the page save.

== <nowiki>INT:</nowiki> ==
A special [[Help:Template|template]]. Used for UI messages, works the same as "MediaWiki:".

<code><nowiki>{{INT:mainpage}}</nowiki></code> gives the content of [[MediaWiki:mainpage]]: 
{{INT:mainpage}}

== <nowiki>SITENAME</nowiki> ==
A [[Help:Variable|variable]].

{{SITENAME}}
