'''DynamicPageList3''' (DPL3) is a powerful MediaWiki [[meta:extension|extension]] that
As a basic example, DPL3 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

===Limiting results and resource consumption===
Line 21 ⟶ 28:
* <code>$wgDplSettings['maxResultCount']</code> – Limits the number of results returned in a query ('''default''' is 500).
* <code>$wgDplSettings['runFromProtectedPagesOnly']</code> – Causes DPL3 to only run from protected pages (if set to ''true''), which can aid administrators having problems with malicous user activity resulting in computationally expensive queries.
'''Note:''' For [[meta:Miraheze|Miraheze]] users, these settings are set by Miraheze.
=== Functional richness ===
Line 32 ⟶ 42:
* <code>$wgDplSettings['functionalRichness'] = 4</code> – Permits potentially dangerous and exotic batch delete and update operations; not recommended for public websites. Also includes extra debugging parameters for development and testing.
{{note|'''Important:''' Some levels of functional richness can cause high database or CPU load, and should be carefully considered.|warn}}
'''Note:''' For [[meta:Miraheze|Miraheze]] users, these settings are set by Miraheze.
== Usage ==
The ''General use and invocation syntax'' page is essential to read, to understand the fundamentals of DPL3 use, it is not recommended to skip this section of the manual.
