+'''Magic words''' are strings of text that MediaWiki associates with a return value or function, such as time, site details, or page names. This page is about usage of standard magic words; for a technical reference, see [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Magic_words Manual:Magic words].
 There are three general types of magic words:
 *'''[[#Behavior switches|Behavior switches]]''': these are uppercase words surrounded by double underscores, ''e.g.'' '''__FOO__'''
 *'''[[#Variables|Variables]]''': these are uppercase words surrounded by double braces, ''e.g.'' '''<code><nowiki>{{FOO}}</nowiki></code>'''. As such, they look a lot like [[Help:Templates|templates]].
-*'''[[#Parser functions|Parser functions]]''': these take parameters and are either of the form '''<code><nowiki>{{foo:...}}</nowiki></code>''' or '''<code><nowiki>{{#foo:...}}</nowiki></code>'''. See also {{mediawiki|Help:Extension:ParserFunctions}}.

See also [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions Help:Extension:ParserFunctions].
 Page-dependent magic words will affect or return data about the ''current'' page (by default), even if the word is added through a transcluded template or included system message.
