(Add an all-in-one (hopefully) explanatory example that is simple but explains the most commonly misunderstood components of the table statement, as separated from tablerow, which appears next anyhow. This example can then be used again and carried farther in "tablerow" in a cohesive way.)

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 select pages in Category:Fruit examples and include the values of the "Fruit-Infobox" template's "image" and "grows" parameters, with the page title as a link in between the two template parameter values. The table statement sets the table styles to "wikitable" and "sortable" then uses - in the second position to omit the automatic page name/link first column (so it can be moved to a different column), and then it sets the table header text. The list output count is limited to 5 results.

Note: Other formatting (such as turning the image name into a rendered image) cannot occur within an include statement, see the tablerow parameter.

{{#dpl:
|category      = Fruit examples
|include       = {Fruit-Infobox}:image:[[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]]:grows
|table         = class="wikitable sortable",-, Image used on page, Page, Value of "grows" parameter
|count         = 5
}}

Result

{{#dpl: |category = Fruit examples |include = {Fruit-Infobox}:image:%TITLE%:grows |table = class="wikitable sortable",-, Image used on page, Page, Value of "grows" parameter |count = 5 }}
