Examples/Parameter: scroll (example 2)
Example
This selects pages from Category:Fruit examples and sets display count to the first 3 articles. The scroll
parameter enables scrolling and URL variables. The resultsheader
argument uses a helper template (Template:Extension DPL scroll) to create the scrolling navigation. A magic word ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Category}}
) and some parameters are fed to that template, so it can determine the total number of pages and the amount to show and offset for the navigation display. allowcachedresults=false
prevents caching, so result changes are immediately seen without the need to manually purge the cache.
