Manual

DynamicPageList3 (DPL/DPL3) is a powerful MediaWiki 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 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.
