Magic words are wikitext markup that tell the server to do stuff. Useful for making templates.
List of:
Examples[edit]
{{Welcome}} uses {{PAGENAME}} returns the the page's title. Since this template is placed on user's talk pages, the page title is the user's username.
Our Trump tweet generator uses {{#time: ... }} to imitate Twitter's time stamp on tweets.
{{#time:h\:i A}} - {{CURRENTDAY}} {{#time:M}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}
results in: 10:51 AM - 5 Nov 2024.
Show your username[edit]
It's not a magic word, but still awesome.
<span class="myName">Anonymous User</span>
results in Anonymous User.
We have a template {{USERNAME}} which is just <span class="myName">Anonymous User</span> inside.
