When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function.

For example, <code dir="ltr">{{#timef:now|date|en}}</code> will show as "<bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">19 November 2024</bdi>". Previously, <code dir="ltr">{{#time:…}}</code> could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. <code dir="ltr">#timef</code> (or <code dir="ltr">#timefl</code> for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. <a class="external autonumber" href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223772">[6]</a><a class="external autonumber" href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##timef">[7]</a></li> <li><span class="skin-invert" typeof="mw:File"><span title="Advanced item"><img alt="Advanced item" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/Octicons-tools.svg/12px-Octicons-tools.svg.png" decoding="async" width="12" height="12" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/Octicons-tools.svg/18px-Octicons-tools.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/Octicons-tools.svg/24px-Octicons-tools.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="1024"/></span></span> Commons and Meta users can now efficiently <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic_words#Localization" class="extiw" title="mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words">retrieve the user's language</a> using <code dir="ltr">{{USERLANGUAGE}}</code> instead of using <code dir="ltr">{{int:lang}}</code>. <a class="external autonumber" href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T4085">[8]</a></li> <li>The <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Product_and_Technology_Advisory_Council" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council">Product and Tech Advisory Council</a> (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
