Show a single template parameter value of a specific page

To show the capital of a country called Nigunda you can use a very simple DPL statement. We assume that the artcile on Nigunda uses a template named Template:Country which expects a parameter named 'capital'. The notation is so short that you can even use it as an integral part of your text:

The capital of Nigunda is {{#dpl:title=Nigunda|include={Country}:capital}}.

And you get: The capital of Nigunda is Bamitogoo.
