Example
This will output a list of pages belonging to Category:Dessert examples; the hyperlinks to these pages will look normal (displaying their page name), but will use an additional MediaWiki parameter named 'curid' at the end of the URL, which contains the numeric ID of the page.
Notes:
- A
format
statement could be used to achieve much the same:|format = ,\n* [²{fullurl:%PAGE%¦curid=%PAGEID%}² %PAGE%]
(observed in the second example). - 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.
{{#dpl: |category = Dessert examples |showcurid = true }}
Result
{{#dpl: |category = Dessert examples |showcurid = true }}
Example 2
This selects pages from Category:Dessert examples, the format
statement is used to provide very similar functionality to showcurid
; the \n*
provides a new line and a 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 as an external link, with %PAGE%
used again as the link text. Using a magic word (or parser function) in the {{#dpl:}}
method of using DPL3 requires special syntax, double curly braces {{
and }}
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 built-in MediaWiki class that can be applied 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%] }}
