Manual

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

Primary DPL module

These sections contain documentation on DPL's primary module, {{#dpl: ... }}. This is the DPL functionality used most often, and has a wide range of powerful coding options.

Complete DPL Manual Table of Contents

Below is the legacy Table of Contents provided as navigation in the original DPL documentation. Its links can all be found via the pages listed above, however this table may be useful to more easily find something, 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 Ctrl-F).
