DPL Extension Testing Ground

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}}}
}}

 resultsheader=«pre»«nowiki»
 resultsfooter=«/nowiki»«/pre»

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).
