== Template modifiers ==
{| class="wikitable" border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0"
! Usage
! Explanation
|-
| <nowiki>{{:xyz}}</nowiki>
| A bare colon is not a template modifier, it's the prefix for the main namespace. Test e.g. article {{:UTC}} vs. template {{UTC}}.<br>Using this syntax you include the text of the main namespace article xyz in another article.
|-
| <nowiki>{{int:xyz}}</nowiki>
| Shorthand for <nowiki>{{MediaWiki:xyz}}</nowiki>, rendered as {{int:xyz}} if [[MediaWiki:xyz]] doesn't exist. See [[Help:MediaWiki namespace]].
|-
| <nowiki>{{msg:xyz}}</nowiki>
| Try <nowiki>{{Template:xyz}}</nowiki> before [[Help:Magic words|magic word]] xyz, without this modifier it's the other way around. No additional effect if there is no template xyz.
|-
| <nowiki>{{msgnw:xyz}}</nowiki>
| The unevaluated wikitext is rendered. See [[Help:Template#msgnw|msgnw]].
|-

=== Size ===
The last unrecognized modifier is used as '''caption''' for ''framed'' images or together with ''thumbnail''s. It's also used as description <tt>alt=</tt>''text''.

|-
| thumb=''xyz''

===Language-dependent word conversions===

|-
| {{<small> CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN </small>}}
| <code>{{CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN}}</code>
| [[w:genitive case|Genitive form]] of month name used for Czech, Polish, Ukrainian[http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/]
|-
| {{grammar:''case | word'' }}
| <nowiki>{{grammar:7sg|Wikipedie}}</nowiki><br />on [[:cs:]] is <code>Wikipedií</code>.

|-
| {{plural:''count |form1 |form2'' }}<br />{{plural:''count |1st | 2nd | 3rd ''}}
| <nowiki>{{plural: 2 | is | are }}</nowiki><br />outputs <code>{{plural: 2 | is |are }}</code><br /><nowiki>{{plural: 0 | this | these }}</nowiki><br />outputs <code>{{plural: 0 |this | these }}</code>
| ''count'' '''1''' yields ''form1'' (singular), [[w:Plural|plural]] transformations are used for languages like [[:ru:|Russian]] [http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/classes/LanguageRu.php] based on "count mod 10".
|}{{-}}
"Grammar" and "Plural" are language-dependent functions, defined in [http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/classes/LanguageCs.php], [http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/classes/LanguageRu.php], etc. (note that in PHP, the modulo operator is the percent sign).
"Grammar" can either be applied to predefined words only, or to arbitrary words, depending on whether the definition is just a 2D array, or involves string manipulations. See also [[:cs:Šablona:Wikivar/GRAMMAR]].
"Plural" is a project-dependent switch function, e.g. giving the first text if ''count'' = 1, the second if ''count'' = 2,3, or 4, and else the third.
See also [[mediazilla:5805]] for the use of "plural" in system messages.
