{{DPL manual|section=|subsection=}}

The '''DynamicPageList3''' extension is a reporting tool for MediaWiki, listing category members and intersections with various formats and details. When invoked with a basic set of selection parameters, DPL displays a list of pages in one or more categories. Selections may also be based on factors such as author, namespace, date, name pattern, usage of templates, or references to other articles. Output takes a variety of forms, some of which incorporate elements of selected articles.

== Usage ==
* [[Extension:DPL3/General usage and invocation syntax|General usage and invocation syntax]]

== Primary DPL module ==
These sections contain documentation on DPL's primary module, <code><nowiki>{{#dpl: ... }}</nowiki></code>. This is the DPL functionality used most often, and has a wide range of powerful coding options.
* [[Extension:DPL3/Parameters: Criteria for page selection|Criteria for page selection]]
* [[Extension:DPL3/Parameters: Controlling output format|Controlling output format]]
* [[Extension:DPL3/Parameters: Controlling output order|Controlling output order]]
* [[Extension:DPL3/Parameters: Controlling output volume|Controlling output volume]]
* [[Extension:DPL3/Parameters: Other parameters|Other parameters]]

== Complete DPL Manual Table of Contents ==
Below is the legacy Table of Contents provided as navigation in the original DPL documentation. It is an expansive, cross-referenced list of DPL parameters (which some find daunting and others find helpful). Its links can all be found via the pages listed above, however the table below may be useful to more easily find what you need, especially if you don't know which section your desired functionality might be located in (expand the table below and use your browser's Find In Page feature, usually <code>Ctrl-F</code>).
