DPL:Manual - DPL Special Page with Parameters
You can use Special:DynamicPageListSP with parameters, obtaining a link to an on-the-fly generated page. This is useful if you want to offer links to a large number of queries, but you want to save the effort of creating manually a page for each.
Example: Special:DynamicPageListSP/namespace=User
Clearly the result of this example could have been obtained in a much easier way with Special:Allpages/User:. The issue becomes interesting when providing a combination of parameters. Therefore DPL splits the parameter string into separate lines weherever it finds two consecutive &&; obviously this implies that the parameters must not contain two consecutive & characters.
- So you can do things like Special:DynamicPageListSP/namespace=User&&titlematch=%o% to display all user pages where the username contains an "o".
- Normally the user will see the query and will have the possibility to change it as he or she likes. If you add the parameter 'noeditbox' the edit form will be suppressed.
Example: Special:DynamicPageListSP/namespace=User&&titlematch=%o%&&noeditbox.
