Since the MediaWiki magic words concept is already cross-linked at the top, I moved that section down as being sort of a secondary aspect on this page. I am a newbie so perhaps that's wrong; the "secret word" reference to 'You Bet Your Life' also seems awkward, but I wasn't sure what to do with it.

User 172.162.155.129 removed the link to 'Magic Words: A Dictionary' but I have restored it. User complained that reading it online (free) is "impractical," in which case why do we link to Project Gutenberg and other online books? Also, the dictionary has an index which allows specific magic words to be looked up, so it's a valuable link from the concept in my opinion. --Hcethatsme 21:27, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another, poorly sourced, article about the same subject exists at magical formula. I suggest any salvageable content from it be merged into this article.GideonF (talk) 09:02, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
