Page FX - what effects are built in?

I have just started using API:s  (and I am a technical idiot, even though I try to learn). Is there a list of what effects are available as a default? The only one listed on the script page is the "explode-fire" one.  I dont really understand, even after looking at the wiki, how you find the other ones - or actually how to add a custom one (where do you put in the code?) I know this is probably something very basic, but I have tried searching the forum and Google and feel a bit lost.
In the mapview area tool, the 4th button down is a lightning icon.  Select that and 2 drop downs appear, the left dropdown is for the first half of xxxxx-yyyyy.  The second drop down is for the other half.  all lowercase.

Thank you for your quick reply

Just a word of warning: When finding the names of built-in fx from the UI tool, the "explode" effect is incorrectly labeled "explosion". As you found in the documentation, "explode" should be used. If you try "explosion-<any_color>", it will only output a burn-fire.
