Hi, the manual says: "a text portion which is marked by special tags named "foo"", but there is not explanation how to put a marker tag foo in all the articles which appear in DPL listing. Janek Kozicki


10 lines above the manual refers to LabeledSectionTransclusion. Read that. Gero 08:32, 10 October 2007 (CEST)

Include and Template Parameters

What if a page includes a particular template or page more than once. Is there a way to specify the parameters of the nth call to said template? —Sledged (talk) 06:13, 10 October 2007 (CEST)


This sounds rather exotic. You can apply a regexp to the call parameters for filtering - and I guess that the n-th template invocation can be recognized by some difference in the parameters from the (n-1)th invocation ... Isn´t that enough?

To pick a template call based on the argument values it uses the includematch statement can be used. Gero 23:57, 25 October 2007 (CEST)
