Examples/Parameter: showcurid (example 1)

Example
This outputs a list of pages belonging to Category:Dessert examples; the hyperlinks to these pages would look normal (displaying their page name), but would use an additional MediaWiki parameter named 'curid' at the end of the URL, which contains the numeric ID of the page.

Notes:
 * A  statement could also be used to achieve (working) output:   (observed in an alternate example).
 * cannot be used together with.
 * Using this type of link may be somewhat faster than using the title only. This kind of link is useful for some web spiders (e.g., some search engine spiders may need a unique ID within the pagelink) and it works even if the title has moved.

Example 2
This selects pages in Category:Dessert examples,  provides very similar functionality to  ; the   creates a new line with bullet, then the MediaWiki magic word   is used to create the URL from , and feed the URL the   as a URL parameter external link. is then used as the link text. Using a magic word (or parser function) in the  method of using DPL3 requires special syntax, double curly   braces   must be replaced with   and   respectively, and pipe   characters must be replaced with   or. The  wraps each link with a MediaWiki class to prevent the external link icon from displaying.
