This selects pages from [[:Category:Fruit examples]] which has a number of results. The <code>{{DPL|count}}</code> displays the first 3 articles, the <code>{{DPL|offset}}</code> doesn't change the article count offset because it's set to zero; setting both using a URL variables instead of a number, allows their query values to overwritten. The <code>scroll</code> parameter enables scrolling and changes to the DPL3 query (for changing the values for <code>count</code> and <code>offset</code> in order to scroll). The <code>resultsheader</code> displays some header text along with the count and current page start number. Setting <code>allowcachedresults=''false''</code> prevents caching, so result changes are immediately seen without the need to manually purge the cache.
This selects pages from [[:Category:Fruit examples]]. The <code>{{DPL|count}}</code> displays the first 3 articles using [[General usage and invocation syntax#Scroll/URL syntax|Scroll/URL syntax]], and an empty <code>{{DPL|offset}}</code> also using that syntax; setting both using scroll/url syntax, allows their query values to be overwritten by URL. The <code>scroll</code> parameter fills the scroll/url parameter values. The <code>resultsheader</code> displays header text to show the count and current result start number. Setting <code>allowcachedresults=''false''</code> prevents caching, so result changes are immediately seen when the URL is changed, without the need to manually purge the MediaWiki cache.




The result is a static display of pages, adding two URL <code>&DPL_count=3&DPL_offset=3</code> to the end of the ([[mw:Manual:Parameters_to_index.php|index.php]]-style) URL seen below, causes the contents of the DPL3 query on-page to change; the next 3 results in the result set are displayed. You can copy/paste the following URL into your web browser to see the result change.
The result is a static display of the first 3 pages, but their display offset (page to start at) and count can be ''overwritten'' just by adding two DPL3-specific URL parameters <code>&DPL_count=3&DPL_offset=3</code> to the end of the ([[mw:Manual:Parameters_to_index.php|index.php]]-style) URL. If you '''copy/paste the URL into your browser's URL bar''', you can see the next 3 results are loaded from the URL parameters:
