| Description: | How to include editdate for a page and then including that page and retaining info |
| Extension / Version: | DPL / 1.8.8 |
| Type / Status: | Change Request <-- please select / open |
Problem
I've got a template that holds the following query:
<includeonly>
{{#dpl:
|title={{FULLPAGENAME}}
|skipthispage=no
|addauthor=true
|adduser=true
|ordermethod=firstedit
|addeditdate=true
|format=,[[User:%USER%|%USER%]] - %DATE%,,
}}
</includeonly>
The template is used in a number of pages that I also gather in one larger page. The trouble is, that the above DPL-query then applies to the large page that includes the other smaller ones. Obviously because of the {{FULLPAGENAME}}-magic word, but {{Subst:FULLPAGENAME}} won't work because of the parser order.
It's obvious that I'm just taking the long way around in terms of including a signature stamp. I'm fully aware that it can be done by making a template like ~~<noincludes>~~, but it never makes it to the page that it needs to unless I substitute the template that holds the above query. And that's no good, since that template takes a number of parameters that I display on my large page.
A complicated explanation, I apologize.. I'm sure I'm missing something basic here.
Any help?

As far as I know there exists NO way for an included document (or template) to find out its own name. FULLPAGENAME will always relate to the topmost document.

In principle this works fine; but when you rename a page you must change this literal as well.
