'''Magic words''' (including '''parser functions''', '''variables''' and '''behavior switches''') are features of [[Help:Wiki markup|wiki markup]] that give instructions to Wikipedia's underlying [[MediaWiki]] software. For example, magic words can suppress or position the table of contents, disable indexing by external search engines, and produce output dynamically based on the current page or on user-defined conditional logic. Some of these features are especially useful for [[WP:Templates|templates]].
