+[Hooks][hooks] are so-called event handlers that allow custom code to be executed. Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) uses several of those hooks to enable specific process logic to be integrated with MediaWiki. SMW currently uses the following hooks:
+
+#### ArticlePurge
+ArticlePurge is executed during a manual purge action of an article and depending on available settings is being used to track a page refresh.
+
+#### BeforePageDisplay
+BeforePageDisplay allows last minute changes to the output page and is being used to render a ExportRDF link into each individual article.
+
+#### InternalParseBeforeLinks
+InternalParseBeforeLinks is used to process and expand text content, and in case of SMW it is used to identify and resolve the property annotation syntax ([[link::syntax]]), returning a modified content component and storing annotations within the ParserOutput object.
+
+#### LinksUpdateConstructed
+LinksUpdateConstructed is called at the end of LinksUpdate and is being used to initiate a store update for data that were held by the ParserOutput object.
+
+#### NewRevisionFromEditComplete
+NewRevisionFromEditComplete called when a new revision was inserted due to an edit and used to update the ParserOuput with the latests special property annotation.
+
+#### ParserAfterTidy
+ParserAfterTidy is used to re-introduce content, update base annotations (e.g. special properties, categories etc.) and in case of a manual article purge initiates a store update (LinksUpdateConstructed wouldn't work because it acts only on link changes and therefore would not trigger a LinksUpdateConstructed event).
+
+#### SpecialStatsAddExtra
+SpecialStatsAddExtra is used to add additional statistic being shown at Special:Statistics.
+
+#### SkinAfterContent
+Extend the display with content from the Factbox.
+
+#### OutputPageParserOutput
+Rendering the Factbox and updating the FactboxCache.
+
+#### TitleMoveComplete
+Update the Store after an article has been deleted.
+
+#### ResourceLoaderGetConfigVars
+
+#### GetPreferences
+
+#### SkinTemplateNavigation
