Variables and parser functions can use [[Special:MyLanguage/Manual:subst|subst:]], just like templates. 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.

A behavior switch controls the layout or behavior of the page (if supported by the skin) and can often be used to specify desired omissions and inclusions in the content. Notably some of these are not supported by the [[Skin:MinervaNeue|Minerva skin]].

Variables return information about the current page, wiki, or date. Their syntax is similar to [[<tvar|help-templates>Special:MyLanguage/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 <tvar|code><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{ns:10}}:PAGENAME<tvar|code-end><nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>). In some cases, adding parameters will force the parser to invoke a template; for example, <tvar|tpl-currentdayname-code><code><nowiki>{{CURRENTDAYNAME|x}}</nowiki></code> transcludes <tvar|tpl-currentdayname-result>[[{{ns:10}}:CURRENTDAYNAME]], ''not'' the variable.

Numbers returned by these variables normally contain separators (commas, dots or spaces, depending on the local language) but can return raw numbers with the ":R" flag (for example, <tvar|nop-code><code><nowiki>{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}</nowiki></code> → <tvar|nop-result>{{NUMBEROFPAGES}} and <tvar|nop-r-code><code><nowiki>{{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}}</nowiki></code> → <tvar|nop-r-result>{{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}}).
Use "|R" for magic words that require a parameter like PAGESINCATEGORY (for example <tvar|pic><code><nowiki>{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help}}</nowiki></code> and <tvar|pic-r><code><nowiki>{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|R}}</nowiki></code>, or <tvar|pic-subcats><code><nowiki>{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|subcats}}</nowiki></code> and <tvar|pic-subcats-r><code><nowiki>{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help|subcats|R}}</nowiki></code>).
