'''DynamicPageList3''' (DPL/DPL3) is a powerful MediaWiki [[meta:extension|extension]] that can generate lists of pages, and/or certain data and statistics gathered from them, for display in a wiki page. DPL lists are automatically updated whenever said data changes. |
|||
As a basic example, DPL can be used to insert, in a wiki page, an always-current list of all pages of a particular [[mw:Help:category|category]]. The data displayed may be selected and sorted based on factors like author, namespace, date, name pattern, usage of templates, or references to other articles, with a variety of custom formatting possibilities. |
