Searching for pages containing a certain text string

Matching content in pages: You need to include the contents of pages in this page (include = * does that) and then do a perl-like regexp on their contents to filter interesting pages (includematch = ...). If you are searching in translated pages (fx all Danish pages) it is often advantageous to have namespace = Translations set; otherwise you will get both all full pages and all translation units containing matching text — that could be a very long output.

<DPL>
  titlematch = %/da
  namespace = Translations
  include = *
  includematch = /[Aa]pplikation/
  includemaxlength = 0
  resultsheader = Danish translation units containing the string "applikation"
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]]\n,,
</DPL>

 

Warning
There is something very, very wrong with this query!

Searching for pages that hasn't been marked for translation

<DPL>
  nottitlematch = %/__|%/zh-%|%pt-%|%(%)
  namespace = Main
  include = *
  includenotmatch = /<languages/
  includemaxlength = 0
  resultsheader = Danish translation units containing the string "applikation"
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]]\n,,
</DPL>

Find discussion threads contributed by a user

Perhaps more talk namespaces needs to be searched.

<DPL>
  namespace = Talk | Thread
  createdby = AmirHP
</DPL>

All English manual pages

<DPL>
  titlematch = %/Manual%
  nottitlematch = %/__|%/__-__|%/___|% (%
  namespace = | User | Draft
  resultsheader = Manual Pages:
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]]\n,,
</DPL>

All English pages linking to a given page

The LinksTo template is describes and tested here: User:Claus_chr/DPL/Test

 

Warning
This query seems to be affected by the same problem as the plain text query (above).
