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.
For more detailed information on all magic words (behaviour switches, variables and parser functions), consider reading: Help:Magic words: a more detailed help page. mw:Help:Magic words: details of all available MediaWiki standard magic words. mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions: parser function extensions to MediaWiki, to supplement magic words.

Parser functions can be used to selectively show or hide particular content (such as table rows) within an infobox based on the value of one or more template parameters. For example, a parameter may be designed to display only if another parameter exists. A simplistic test to display a caption only when an image is present could be:
In addition to pure container formats, which specify only the wrapper but not the coding, a number of file formats specify both a storage layer and the coding, as part of modular design and forward compatibility. Examples include the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF), for containing JPEG data, and Portable Network Graphics (PNG) formats.
The image parameter sometimes requires the Wikipedia:Extended image syntax; other times it requires only the image file name depending on the tastes of the editor who created the infobox. An editor can determine this either by experimenting (using the "preview" function) or by consulting the infobox template documentation.
The MediaWiki software adds elements that look and act like HTML tags. Parser tags are included in MediaWiki whereas extension tags are added by optional software extensions. For a machine-generated list, see Special:Version#mw-version-parser-extensiontags. It may include tags not documented here. Parser tags
