Example UI on this Template:Catlist page

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 = /albummet/
  resultsheader = Danish translation units containing the string "albummet"
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]]\n,,
</DPL>

All English pages linking to a given page

<DPL>
  namespace=Main |User
  nottitleregexp = .*(/..(-..)?|_[(].*[)])$
  include = *
  includematch = #\[\[[Ss]pecial\:[mM]y[lL]anguage/Getting[_ ]Help|\[\[Getting[_ ]Help#
  includemaxlength = 0
  resultsheader = The pages in the translation system linking to Getting Help are:\n
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
</DPL>

Extension:DynamicPageList3 (DPL3), version 3.5.3: Error: No selection criteria found! You must use at least one of the following parameters: category, namespace, titlematch, linksto, uses, createdby, modifiedby, lastmodifiedby, or their 'not' variants

Somehow this is broken. Without the namespace clause we get

Extension:DynamicPageList3 (DPL3), version 3.5.3: Error: No selection criteria found! You must use at least one of the following parameters: category, namespace, titlematch, linksto, uses, createdby, modifiedby, lastmodifiedby, or their 'not' variants

which excludes some pages in the main namespace(!) and includes on in the User namespace!? Explicitely specifying namespace main gives this.

Extension:DynamicPageList3 (DPL3), version 3.5.3: Error: No selection criteria found! You must use at least one of the following parameters: category, namespace, titlematch, linksto, uses, createdby, modifiedby, lastmodifiedby, or their 'not' variants

That seems reasonable, but weren't main supposed to be used by default? Lesson nra

On the other hand this query:

<DPL>
  linksto = Getting_Help
  nottitleregexp = .*(/..(-..)?|_[(].*[)])$
  resultsheader = \n----\nThere are %TOTALPAGES% pages linking to Getting Help. These are:\n
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
</DPL>

There are 16 pages linking to Getting Help. These are:

finds a page (with an old-stye link) that I just can't find using any variation on the above query. There seems to be some interaction between the various clauses in the query — maybe their order is significant. I can't find anything in the doc page, though.

Kopete Subpages in 3 columns

<DPL>
  titlematch = Kopete/%
  notnamespace = Translations
  columns = 3
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
</DPL>

Akonadi Subpages in Danish

<DPL>
  titlematch = Akonadi%/da
  notnamespace = Translations
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
</DPL>

Archived pages

<DPL>
  titlematch = %
  namespace = Archive
  columns = 2
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
  resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages in the Archive namespace. These are:\n
</DPL>

NoIndexed pages

<DPL>
  titlematch = %
  category = Noindexed_pages
  columns = 2
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
  resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages in the Archive namespace. These are:\n
</DPL>

Ignoring Deleted Pages

"As for DPL. If you hit a page with ?action=purge attached to the URL (i.e. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Template:Latest_news?action=purge ), it will dump all the removed pages."

Remaining old-style translations

<DPL>
  titlematch = %_(%)
  notcategory = Template
  notnamespace = Thread
  notnamespace = Summary
  columns = 2
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
  resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages (partly) remaining in old-style translations. These are:\n
</DPL>

Pages with old i18n bar

<DPL>
  titlematch = %
  namespace = Main
  uses = Template:I18n/Language Navigation Bar
  columns = 3
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
  resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages that still display the old i18n language bar\n
</DPL>

Pages with old i18n bar but w/o old-way-translated ones

<DPL>
  nottitlematch = %_(%)
  namespace = Main
  uses = Template:I18n/Language Navigation Bar
  columns = 3
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
  resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% relevant pages that still display the old i18n language bar\n
</DPL>

Pages not updated since 1st July 2010

<DPL>
  namespace = Main
  lastrevisionbefore = 201007010000
  columns = 2
  ordermethod=lastedit
  format = ,\n* (%DATE%) [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
  resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages without recent updates\n
</DPL>

Listing Non-Translation Pages

<DPL>
  nottitlematch = %/__|%/zh-%|%(%)
  titlematch = Amarok%
  namespace = Main
  columns = 1
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
  resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% Amarok pages, not counting translations\n
</DPL>

List all pages in a specific namespace

<DPL>
  nottitlematch = %/__|%/zh-%|%pt-%|%(%)
  namespace = MediaWiki
  columns = 3
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
  resultsheader = These %TOTALPAGES% pages are in the Mediawiki namespace\n
</DPL>

To count translated pages in a specific language:

<DPL>
  titlematch = %/en
  notnamespace = Translations
  columns = 3
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
  resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages (partly) translated to English. These are:\n
</DPL>

There are 832 pages (partly) translated to English. These are:
