The ParserFunctions extension enhances the wikitext parser with helpful functions, mostly related to logic and string handling. Since MediaWiki 1.15, ParserFunctions has incorporated most (but not all) functions from the former StringFunctions extension, which may be enabled or disabled.
For instructions on how to use this extension, see the help pages.
