Please do not edit this page unless you're wanting to edit the manual itself, it is an example included in the manual.

Example

This will list pages from Category:Fruit examples, a random count of 3, with the random seed set to a new value every day. Using this on your homepage, you could present a stable set of random articles for one day and switch to another set every day.

This example requires the ParserFunctions extension and $wgPFEnableStringFunctions set to "true" (enabled) in order to function correctly; on Miraheze, ParserFunctions is already installed, the latter setting can be found and enabled in ManageWiki.

{{#dpl:
|category=Fruit examples
|randomcount=3
|randomseed={{#time:Ymd}}
}}

Result

{{#dpl: |category=Fruit examples |randomcount=3 |randomseed=20240702 }}
