'''Parser functions''' are very similar to [[Help:Magic words#General_information|variables]] but take one or more parameters (technically, any magic word that takes a parameter is a parser function), and the name is sometimes prefixed with a [[wikipedia:Number sign|hash]] to distinguish them from templates. In addition to the parser functions included with MediaWiki the [[mw:Extensino:ParserFunctions|ParserFunctions extension]] installed here adds more.
