Problem
After using DPL for years, the biggest feature that is missing (in my opinion) is an easy way to select articles based on the value of a template parameter. For example:
<dpl> uses = Template:MyTemplate templateparameter = MyTemplate,P=6 <dpl>
would mean, "select all articles that transclude Template:MyTemplate and pass the value 6 to the template parameter P."
I realize you can hack this kind of solution using includepage and regular expressions, but it is very painful and hard to get right.
