Manual:Extension/DynamicPageList3

The extension DynamicPageList3 allows you to display lists of wiki pages on other pages. In addition, individual page sections from one wiki page can be included (=transcluded) in another page.

Examples

You can view a documentation of all selection criteria and formatting options at Gamepedia.

This help page contains some typical examples as well as a list of common parameters and their values.

Transcluding page sections

To display a section of one wiki page on another page, provide the page name (title) and the section header (include) as parameters:

{{#dpl:|title=Manual:Semantic_MediaWiki|include=#Defining attributes}}

List of subpages

The following code shows the subpages of the current page in a 3-column layout:

{{#dpl:
|titlematch={{PAGENAME}}/%
|shownamespace=false
|replaceintitle=/{{PAGENAME}}\//,
|columns=3
|mode=none
|rowcolformat=width=100%
}}

Example: Display the subpages of the page VisualEditor imn the namespace Manual in a 1-column layout:

{{#dpl:
|titlematch=VisualEditor/%  
|shownamespace=false
|namespace= Manual
|replaceintitle=/VisualEditor\//,
|columns=1
|mode=ubordered
|rowcolformat=width=100%
}}

Output:

{{#dpl:
  |namespace=Manual
  |includesubpages=true
  |shownamespace=false
  |count=5
  |ordermethod=title
}}
