Documentation on the parameters of the DPL

ordermethod

ordermethod Determines what criterion (resp. criteria) is (resp. are) used to order the list. Syntax:

ordermethod=method1,method2,... means ordered by method1 first, then by method2, etc. (like the ORDER BY clause in SQL)

methodN can be one of the following single tokens:

categoryadd

outputs list based on most recent addition to the first category (requires to include one category and one only using 'category' parameter)

counter

outputs list based on the number of times the page has been viewed (by ~popularity) : Attention: Requires the HitCounter Extension for wikis on MediaWiki 1.25.0 or higher since the counter feature was removed[1].

size

outputs list based on the size of the article (bytes of wiki text)

firstedit

outputs list based on first edit to the pages (creation)

lastedit

outputs list based on most recent edit to the pages

pagetouched

outputs list based on 'page_touched' timestamp. Read comment on page_touched field in Page_table to see the difference from most recent edit by an author.

pagesel

outputs list based on the names of the reference pages which are used in the selection of a linksfrom or linksto statement. pagesel only makes sense if there is more than one page mentioned in the linksfrom or linksto condition.

title

outputs list sorted by article (prefix +) title

titlewithoutnamespace

outputs list sorted by the article name regardless of namespace

Token combinations

methodN can also be one of the following token combinations (see also headingmode option):

category,firstedit

outputs list sorted by category, then by first edit

category,lastedit

outputs list sorted by category, then by last edit within a category

category,pagetouched

outputs list sorted by category, then by pagetouched

category,sortkey

sortkey

outputs list sorted by title and sortkey, requires at least one category statement

user,firstedit

outputs list sorted by user, then by firstedit by the user

user,lastedit

outputs list sorted by user, then by lastedit by the user

none

do not apply any ordering (except ordering by timestamp if you requested a list of revisions); this method must be used when you specify openreferences=yes. — (default)

Example:

{{#dpl:
|category=Category:Dogmeat
|ordermethod=lastedit
}}

This list will output pages that have [[Category:Dogmeat]] showing most recently edited articles at the top.

Table sorting

Use |tablesortcol= plus a number to sort by a column, independently of whichever sorting you chose in the ordermethod. The number you choose must be the number of the column you want to sort by. Use positive numbers for descending order, or negative numbers for descending order.
Check out this Fallout Speedrunning page for an example.

Template

{{#dpl:
|category=Category:Dogmeat
|ordermethod=lastedit
|tablesortcol=-3
}}

This means it will sort from the 3rd column in descending order.

Gallery mode

You can use this to display a bunch of images in gallery mode.

Template


{{#dpl:
|category=Fallout Tactics key item images
|mode=gallery
}}
