Applying a template to all pages of a given category
From FollowTheScore
How can one apply a template to all pages of a certain category?
Sometimes you want to create a list of articles where each entry in the list points to an adress which is constructed from the article´s name. Basically, this means that you want to produce the equivalent of
{{some template|1st page in category}}
{{some template|2nd page in category}}
{{some template|3rd page in category}}
...
Answer
To invoke a template called "My special article lister" for all pages which are members of category "Fictitious country" you would have to write the following
<pre> <dpl> category=Fictitious country format=,{{My special article lister|%PAGE%}} </dpl> </pre>
The result could like this:
- This Italic textlist item refers to DPL Example 007 main page 1; it is constructed by Template:My special article lister
- This Italic textlist item refers to Nigunda; it is constructed by Template:My special article lister
- This Italic textlist item refers to Nigunda Test; it is constructed by Template:My special article lister
- This Italic textlist item refers to Somango; it is constructed by Template:My special article lister
