Test Magic links:

[meta] – link to the current site's Meta; link text is the site name (e.g. "Meta Super User"). Does nothing if the site doesn't have (or already is) a Meta site.

[main] – like [meta], just the other way around.

[edit] – link to the edit page for the post the comment is on, i.e. /posts/{id}/edit. Link text is "edit" (capitalization is respected).

Help center links. Link text for all of these is "help center": [help] should be obvious. [meta-help] links to "What is meta?" (/help/whats-meta) [help/on-topic] links to "What topics can I ask about here?" (/help/on-topic) [help/dont-ask] links to "What types of questions should I avoid asking?" (/help/dont-ask) [help/behavior] links to "What kind of behavior is expected of users?" (/help/behavior).

[tour] and [meta-tour] – equivalent to the FAQ version, but links to the site's Tour page (resp. the meta site's Tour page). Link text is "tour" (capitalization is respected). Legacy names [about] and [meta-about] are still supported.

[ask] – link to the "How to Ask" page

[answer] – link to the "How to Answer" page.

Links to the front page of Stack Exchange sites (link text is the site name): [so] – link to Stack Overflow [su] – link to Super User [sf] – link to Server Fault [metase]/[meta.se] – link to Meta Stack Exchange [ubuntu.se] – link to Ask Ubuntu [mathoverflow.se] – link to MathOverflow [a51] – link to Area 51 [se] – link to the Stack Exchange Localized Stack Overflow sites can be linked as [es.so] – link to Stack Overflow en español [ja.so] – link to スタック・オーバーフロー [pt.so] – link to Stack Overflow em Português [ru.so] – link to Stack Overflow на русском All other Stack Exchange sites, except Stack Apps: [something.se] – link to something.stackexchange.com, if that site exists. Link text is the site name. [sitename.meta.se] or [meta.sitename.se] – link to a site-specific Meta site. Link text is "Meta ".

[chat] – link to the current site's chat site ne showing a list of active rooms from the referring site), the link text being "{site name} Chat".

On Stack Overflow and localized Stack Overflow sites: [mcve], [reprex], [repro], [mre] and [example] – link to the Minimal Complete & Verifiable Example page for the site.

Tags (these work in questions, answers, comments, and chat, but are not formatted as tags in comments): [Note that if you're on meta, tag-name will still point to the main site. Except on Meta Stack Exchange, which doesn't have a main, tag-name makes no difference from tag-name.] tag-name creates a link to the named tag on the main site. tag-name creates a link to a tag on meta. The text is linked

Supported magic links in chat

In chat, only a limited subset of the magic links listed for comments work, plus one chat-specific magic link.

Chat supports the following magic links: [meta], [main], [ask], [answer], all the links to specific sites, and tag links (with tag formatting). Chat also adds [chat-faq], which results in "chat faq".

The tag magic links work as expected on Stack Overflow Chat and Meta Stack Exchange Chat. However, on Stack Exchange Chat, the chat room in which you use the magic link must be associated with a specific Stack Exchange site, and will take on the formatting of tags on that site.
