==URL parameters==
DPL understands a couple of parameters which can be passed via a URL specification. These URL-parameters all start with DPL_:
* <code>DPL_count</code>: influences the {{DPL|count}} parameter (in fact, it overwrites the value specified within the DPL statement)
* <code>DPL_offset</code>: influences the {{DPL|offset}} parameter (in fact, it overwrites the value specified within the DPL statement)
* <code>DPL_refresh</code>: if used with a value of 'yes' this will clear the DPL cache
* <code>DPL_fromTitle</code>: restrict the selection to articles with a page title greater or equal to the specified value
* <code>DPL_toTitle</code>: restrict the selection to articles with a page title less or equal to the specified value
* <code>DPL_arg1, DPL_arg2, .. DPL_arg5</code>: these are generic parameters that can be used freely to influence a DPL statement
The command
<pre><nowiki>
would display ''MyPage'' and set the offset parameter to a value of ''20''.
Line 124:
In this case, DPL will use 'yyy' if the parameter DPL_xxx is not specified on the URL command line.
Note: There is a template called [[Template:Extension DPL scroll]] which uses <code>DPL_offset</code> and <code>DPL_count</code> to provide a generic page scrolling method for huge result sets, where there is an expected number of results.
