Using DPL: Examples for best practice
There are a lot of good ideas on how to use DPL, often in combination with other MediaWiki extensions.
If you have an example on your wiki which you want to share with us, please put a link below and give a short description what it is about.
Creating vertical bar charts with numeric properties from articles
You can use DPL for creating sortable bar charts. In this example I used two templates, which are placed in the two columns of the sortable DPL-table. The template for "fuel economy" (Template:Car dpl2) contains two (borderless) tables with one row in each. To determine the width of each table I made use of one of the numerical parameters from the articles. This way the table turns into a nice bar chart representing a specific value. (There are some more features included, e.g. calculating the CO2-Emissions automatically if there is no value given, thus the template looks a bit complicated.)
