Problem

DPL describes itself as:

DynamicPageList2 (Version 1.7.4) based on DynamicPageList, featuring many improvements

DynamicPageList2 is said on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList2 to be obsolete and replaced by DynamicPageList. Already, both links behind "DynamicPageList2" and "DynamicPageList" are identical and point to "DynamicPageList", which however, makes the sentence "based on..." unintelligable.

I understand a bit of the history behind it, but I think this could be cleaned up by now. Let it identify itself as "DynamicPageList" remove the reference to the older version, perhaps much rather explain the relation to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Intersection, which is in current use on Wikimedia projects, so many people will find Intersection first, and which, confusingly, is called through "extensions/intersection/DynamicPageList.php" ...
