Help:DynamicPageList

DynamicPageList is a versatile extension which allows page data to be incorporated into other pages outside its own. It is similar to Cargo, but works with the main wiki database instead of its own.

DPL provides several function hooks and extensive configuration for selecting and outputting results; The complete, first-party manual is located here. This page will be gradually updated as our wiki explores different functionalities and uses over time.
