Voir la source de Help:Magic words

'''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 {{Mediawiki|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}}.

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.

==Behavior switches==
A behavior switch controls the layout or behavior of the page and can often be used to specify desired omissions and inclusions in the content.

==Variables==
Variables return information about the current page, wiki, or date. Their syntax is similar to [[Help:Templates|templates]]. Variables marked as "<span style="background:#FED;">'''[expensive]'''</span>" are tracked by the software, and the number that can be included on a page is limited.

If a template name conflicts with a variable, the variable will be used (so to transclude the template [[{{ns:10}}:PAGENAME]] you would need to write <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{ns:10}}:PAGENAME<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>). In some cases, adding parameters will force the parser to invoke a template; for example, <code><nowiki>{{CURRENTDAYNAME|x}}</nowiki></code> transcludes [[{{ns:10}}:CURRENTDAYNAME]], ''not'' the variable.

===Date and time===
The following variables return the current date and time in UTC.

Due to MediaWiki and browser caching, these variables frequently show when the page was ''cached'' rather than the current time.

The date and time magic words are formatted in the wiki content language. Since {{r|94680|1.19}}, they depend on the [[page content language]].

===Statistics===
Numbers returned by these variables normally contain separators (commas or spaces, depending on the local language), but can return raw numbers with the ":R" flag (for example, <code><nowiki>{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} and <code><nowiki>{{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}}). Use "|R" for magic words that require a parameter like PAGESINCATEGORY (for example <code><nowiki>{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|R}}</nowiki></code>). Also applicable to <code><nowiki>{{PAGESIZE:</nowiki>''page name''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> above.

The number magic words are formatted in the wiki content language. Since {{r|94680|1.19}}, it depends on the [[page content language]].

The <code><nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{SUBPAGENAME}}</nowiki></code> magic words only work in namespaces that have subpages enabled.  See {{mediawiki|Manual:$wgNamespacesWithSubpages}} for information on enabling subpages.

====URL encoded page names====

The following are equivalents encoded for use in MediaWiki URLs (i.e. spaces replaced with underscores and some characters [[wikipedia:percent-encoding|percent-encoded]]):
* <code><nowiki>{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{PAGENAMEE}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAMEE}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{SUBPAGENAMEE}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{SUBJECTPAGENAMEE}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{ARTICLEPAGENAMEE}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{TALKPAGENAMEE}}</nowiki></code>

As of {{mediawiki|rev:46662|1.15+}}, these can all take a parameter, allowing specification of the page to be operated on, instead of just the current page:
* <code><nowiki>{{PAGENAME:Template:Main Page}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; '''{{PAGENAME:Template:Main Page}}'''

{{Warning|Page titles containing certain characters, such as single quotes (') or asterisks <code>*</code>, may produce unexpected results when handled with these magic words, e.g. <code><nowiki>{{PAGESINCATEGORY:{{PAGENAME}}}}</nowiki></code>. See bugs {{mediawiki|bugzilla:14779|14779}}, {{mediawiki|bugzilla:16474|16474}}.}}

Note that <code><nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>{{PAGENAMEE}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{urlencode:}}</nowiki></code> have distinct implementations. See [[Manual:PAGENAMEE encoding]] for details.

* <code><nowiki>{{NAMESPACEE}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{SUBJECTSPACEE}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{TALKSPACEE}}</nowiki></code>

As of {{mediawiki|rev:46630|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:
* <code><nowiki>{{NAMESPACE:Template:Main Page}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; '''{{NAMESPACE:Template:Main Page}}'''
* <code><nowiki>{{SUBJECTSPACE:Template:Main Page}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; '''{{SUBJECTSPACE:Template:Main Page}}'''
* <code><nowiki>{{TALKSPACE:Template:Main Page}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; '''{{TALKSPACE:Template:Main Page}}'''
Parameter must not be a namespace name:
* <code><nowiki>{{SUBJECTSPACE:Help talk}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; '''{{SUBJECTSPACE:Help talk}}'''

==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 {{mediawiki|Extension:ParserFunctions|ParserFunctions extension}}. For those see [[Help:Extension:ParserFunctions]].

===Namespaces===
<code><nowiki>{{ns:}}</nowiki></code> returns the current localized name for the [[Help:Namespace|namespace]] with that index, canonical name, or local alias. Thus <code><nowiki>{{ns:6}}</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>{{ns:File}}</nowiki></code>, and <code><nowiki>{{ns:Image}}</nowiki></code> (an old name for the File namespace) all return "{{ns:6}}".  On a wiki where the content language was French, <code><nowiki>{{ns:Fichier}}</nowiki></code> would also be valid, but <code><nowiki>{{ns:Datei}}</nowiki></code> (the localisation of "File" into German) would not.

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

Note: In the example 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: <code>mdy</code>, <code>dmy</code>, <code>ymd</code>, <code>ISO&nbsp;8601</code> (all case sensitive). If only the month and day are given, only <code>mdy</code> and <code>dmy</code> 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.<br/><small>{{warning}}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).</small>

| 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).

===Localisation===
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]], [[#Formatting]], [[#Miscellaneous]].

The usage of these magic words can be very complex, and the documentation is currently incomplete; there's some more info on [[translatewiki:FAQ#PLURAL|Plural]], [[translatewiki:Grammar|Grammar]], [[translatewiki:Gender|Gender]].
