Detailed Description

This class encapsulates "magic words" such as "#redirect", NOTOC, etc.

See docs/magicword.md.

Usage:
if ( $magicWordFactory->get( 'redirect' )->match( $text ) ) {
// some code
}

Please avoid reading the data out of one of these objects and then writing special case code. If possible, add another match()-like function here.

To add magic words in an extension, use $magicWords in a file listed in $wgExtensionMessagesFiles[].

Example:
$magicWords['en'] = [
'magicwordkey' => [ 0, 'case_insensitive_magic_word' ],
'magicwordkey2' => [ 1, 'CASE_sensitive_magic_word2' ],
];
$magicWords
@phpcs-require-sorted-array

For magic words which name Parser double underscore names, add a GetDoubleUnderscoreIDs hook. Use string keys.

For magic words which name Parser magic variables, add a GetMagicVariableIDs hook. Use string keys.

◆ getSynonym()

MediaWiki\Parser\MagicWord::getSynonym ( $i)

Get one of the synonyms.

This exists primarily for calling getSynonym( 0 ), which is how you can obtain the preferred name of a magic word according to the current wiki's content language. For example, when demonstrating or semi-automatically creating content that uses a given magic word.

This works because {

See also
LocalisationCache} merges magic word data by appending fallback languages (i.e. "en") after to the language's own data, and each language's Messages*.php file lists the preferred/canonical form as the first value.

Calling this with a number other than 0 is unsupported and may fail.
