DPL:Manual

DynamicPageList is a Mediawiki extension developed for use on Wikinews (but not yet installed there), but it can be installed on any wiki. It allows wiki users to dynamically create lists of pages based on a variety of selection criteria like categories, namespaces, title, references to other articles, usage of templates. Selection criteria can be combined using logical AND and OR. Contents of the pages can be included in the output of DPL2.

Source Code and Examples for Release 0.9.x can be found on the dpl demo web site.
