Problem

I want to search a single include for multiple patterns, all of which have to match. (Example: A single template car having 5 parameters name,color,size,seats,format. Now I want to search for all cars having 4 seats and red color.

AFAIK it should be possible using something akin to

{{#dpl:
|category=Car
|include={Car}:name
|includematch=/color\s*=\s*Red/is,/seats\s*=\s*4/is
}}
 

But this does only filter with the first pattern - if this matches, the second pattern is ignored ..

An alternative would be a way to "invisibly include" a template, so one could use

{{#dpl:
|category=Car
|include={Car}:name,{Car}:color,{Car}:seats
|includematch=/color\s*=\s*Red/is,/seats\s*=\s*4/is
|display=1,-,-
}}
  (or whatever else syntax to include the same template multiple times, but display it only once).

Okay, got it myself. Sorry.

{{#dpl:
|category=Car
|include={Car}:name,{Car¦Template:Invisible},{Car¦Template:Invisible}
|includematch=/color\s*=\s*Red/is,/seats\s*=\s*4/is
}}
 

with Template:Invisible containing an "empty" page. --Tirsales 23:43, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
