Magic words (including parser functions, variables and behavior switches) are features of 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.
In this way there is no need for the wikitables pipe character to appear in the #if conditional. However, sources and notes referred to in the muted cells won't get suppressed with the other contents, to the effect that they continue to be listed at the end of an article without any references to them occurring in the article's text.

A conditional is understood as expressing its consequent under the temporary hypothetical assumption of its antecedent.
There are several advanced table formatting techniques to improve the display or editing of wikitables in Wikipedia. Most of the tips involve use of standard text-editors. While some special software packages exist, to allow customized editing, they are typically not available when travelling to other computers for wiki-editin
