Examples/Parameter: format (example 3)
< Examples
Example
This will list articles in Category:Number examples that linkto the article named Two. The results will be limited to a count of five, and the format made into a table by doing the following in the format statement (whose syntax is: format = Startall,Start,End,Endall
):
{|
inStartall
position of the syntax, to specify the wikitext to begin a table.¶¦-¶¦
followed by[[%PAGE%]]
in theStart
position of the syntax, to specify the wikitext to begin a table row and cell, followed by a link to the page.- The
End
position of the syntax is intentionally omitted because there is no wikitext required to end a table row. ¶|}
in the "Endall" position of the syntax, to specify the table-end wikitext.
{{#dpl: |category = Number examples |linksto = Two |count = 5 |format = {¦ class="wikitable"¶!pages found,¶¦-¶¦[[%PAGE%]],,¶¦} }}
Notes:
Start
position of theformat=
syntax starts and formats a row of output, which is then applied to each item in the result set.- In the case of results outside of the Main namespace, such as in the "Category" namespace, if "Category:" is not desired in the page title/link,
[[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]]
can be used instead. - The table parameter, in combination with tablerow and the include/includepage parameter, can also be used to output table syntax.
OR
<dpl> category = Number examples linksto = Two count = 5 format = {| class="wikitable"¶!pages found,¶|-¶|[[%PAGE%]],,¶|} </dpl>
Result
{{#dpl: |category = Number examples |linksto = Two |count = 5 |format = {¦ class="wikitable"¶!pages found,¶¦-¶¦%PAGE%,,¶¦} }}
