Test numberOfArticles
From FollowTheScore
Show the number of articles in a certain category
This test shows how to put a DPL statement into a template (just for fun in this case) and how to return the number of articles instead of their names. We are going to use the 'resultsheader=' parameter which allows you to use a variable called %PAGES%.
We are going to use a template which contains the following code {{#dpl: |category = {{{category}}} |mode = userformat |resultsheader = There are %PAGES% articles on ''{{{category}}}'' in this wiki. |noresultsheader = This wiki doesn´t contain any articles on ''{{{category}}}''. }} We are going to call the template like this: {{DPL Count|category=Fictitious Countries}}
- This wiki doesn´t contain any articles on Fictitious Country.
- There are 4 articles on Fictitious country in this wiki.
