Features

Note: This is a continuation and fork of DynamicPageList (third-party). It is a fully reworked object oriented code base, significant code and database speed improvements, and is fully backwards compatible with previous versions.

The DynamicPageList3 extension is a reporting tool for MediaWiki, listing category members and intersections with various formats and details. For full documentation, see the full original manual or the manual at gamepedia.

When invoked with a basic set of selection parameters DPL displays a list of pages in one or more categories. Selections may also be based on factors such as author, namespace, date, name pattern, usage of templates, or references to other articles. Output takes a variety of forms, some of which incorporate elements of selected articles.

This extension is invoked with the parser function

Complex look ups can result in computationally expensive database queries. However, by default all output is cached for a period of one hour to reduce the need to rerun the query every page load. The DPL:Parameters: Other Parameters manual page contains information on parameters that can be used to disable the cache and allow instant updates.
