# Wikipedia Markup Template
Wikipeida contains two kinds of markup templates:
* Magic Words
* Extension Tags
## Magic Words
[Magic Words] (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words) are build-in placeholders for site
statistics and environment values.
The [definition](https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/MagicWord_8php_source.html) of
the tags is done directly in the WikiMedia code.
## Template Extension
Additional template tags are handled by external parsers, which are included as extensions, and
therefore are not in the default WikiMedia repository. A description on how to add those extensions
could be found at the [Parser Functions Manual](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Parser_functions).
For example the [Coord](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Coord/doc) template which
represents, translates and converts coordinates, is part of the
[GeoData](https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/EGDA/browse/master/) extension. This template
tag is currently used in over 1 Million Wikipedia articles.
Another common used template tag is [Cite web](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_web/doc)
or the conversion for standard measurement units [Convert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Convert/doc).
