distinct test:

  • Test distinct (link to this page via {{PAGENAME}})
  • test distinct (link to this page)
  • distinct test (various links to this page)

Extension:DynamicPageList (DPL), version 3.2.1: Warning: Skipping bad option 'Test distinct|Test distincts|Test distinctes|Test distincties|Test distincting|Test distincted|{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}s' for parameter 'linksto'.


Extension:DynamicPageList (DPL), version 3.2.1: Error: No selection criteria found! You must use at least one of the following parameters: category, namespace, titlematch, linksto, uses, createdby, modifiedby, lastmodifiedby, or their 'not' variants

The reason why this query shows several entries for distinct test is that the uniqueness requirement refers to the combination of referring page and referred page. Note that a referring page might contain several references to the same page (which you wouldn´t want to see in the listing). DPL offers a variable named %PAGESEL% which shows the referring page. If we add that variable to the example we see why there are several occurencies of distinct test in the output:

If we set distinct=strict we will only get one result. Note that the value of %PAGESEL% in this case will be not useful.
