This page is used for testing the DPL extension (it should be an orphan page). See DPL Manual.

DPL Cheatsheet
Invocation
We can use <dpl> or {{ #dpl: ... }} to invoke DPL (Dynamic Page Lists). The latter is more powerful:
- Magic words like {{PAGENAME}} or {{CURRENTDAY}} can be used.
- Template calls like {{{some template}}} can be used as parameters.
- Parser function calls like {{#if:...|...|...}} can be used within arguments.
Special characters and escaping
Wiki characters must be escaped in the DPL arguments:
- Use {{!}} (ie. Template:!) or the special symbol ¦ to escape the pipe character.
- ¶ or \n must be used to insert a linefeed character where linefeeds are required by the wiki formatting.
Example of using an escape pipe character:
{{#dpl:
|category = cat1¦cat2
|linksto = {{{1}}}
}}
Using Titlematch
Pulling all news article for 2014 only. Note! : titlematch can create inefficient queries, and should not be necessary if categories can do it.

dplreplace
This could be useful... (manual)
{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|ab|AB}}
ABrakadABra
uses (pulling pages using certain templates)
This is the main way we could handle skills/recipes tables with DPL and templating. WORK IN PROGRESS (trying to figure out the templating of table rows with DPL).
