Show members of a category and of all its subcategories
Ideally we would like to use a template which calls itself recursively. But MediaWiki tries to be clever and blocks such calls. So we have to use a separate template for each level. So, if you need more than two levels you must copy the source code of Template:DPL Example 007 sub 2 to Template:DPL Example 007 sub 3 etc.
{{DPL Example 007 sub|DPL Example 007 main cat}}
The above DPL command produces the following output:
Pages in category DPL Example 007 main cat
|
Pages in subcategory DPL Example 007 sub cat 1
|
Pages in subcategory DPL Example 007 sub cat 2
