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 in the namespace Manual in a 1-column layout:

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


Output:


If you want to limit the output to the first level of subpages, you can add:

|nottitlematch={{PAGENAME}}/%/%

Selecting pages by namespace

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

Output:

{{#dpl:
  |category=Editing
  |addcategories=true
  |includesubpages=true
  |shownamespace=false
  |count=5
  |ordermethod=title
  |mode=ordered  
}}

Output:

  1. Create Pages . . Categories: Editing
  2. Create pages . . Categories: Editing
  3. Delete article . . Categories: Editing
  4. Extension/BlueSpiceCategoryCheck . . Categories: Advanced | Editing
  5. Extension/BlueSpiceContextMenu . . Categories: Editing

Selecting pages with specific naming patterns

{{#dpl:
 |namespace=File
 |titlematch=A%
 |count=5
 }}

  2. Click on dpl-parserfunc-tracking-category in the column Message name
  3. Replace the text Pages using DynamicPageList parser function not wanted with a dash ("-"). The category will no longer be displayed on your wiki pages.
