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.
{{#dpl: |category = Dessert examples |showcurid = true }}
Notes:
- A
format
statement could also be used to achieve (working) output:|format = ,\n* [²{fullurl:%PAGE%¦curid=%PAGEID%}² %PAGE%]
(observed in an alternate example). showcurid=true
cannot be used together withopenreferences=true
.- 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.
Result
{{#dpl: |category = Dessert examples |showcurid = true }}
Example 2
This selects pages in Category:Dessert examples, format
provides very similar functionality to showcurid
; the \n*
creates a new line with bullet, then the MediaWiki magic word {{fullurl:}}
is used to create the URL from %PAGE%
, and feed the URL the %PAGEID%
as a URL parameter external link. %PAGE%
is then used as the link text. Using a magic word (or parser function) in the {{#dpl:}}
method of using DPL3 requires special syntax, double curly {{
braces }}
must be replaced with ²{
and }²
respectively, and pipe |
characters must be replaced with ¦
or {{!}}
. The <span class="plainlinks"></span>
wraps each link with a MediaWiki class to prevent the external link icon from displaying.
{{#dpl: |category = Dessert examples |format = ,\n* <span class="plainlinks">[²{fullurl:%PAGE%¦curid=%PAGEID%}² %PAGE%]</span> }}
Result 2
{{#dpl: |category = Dessert examples |format = ,\n* [²{fullurl:%PAGE%¦curid=%PAGEID%}² %PAGE%] }}
