Show the number of articles in a certain category
This test shows how to put a DPL statement into a template (just for fun in this case) and how to return the number of articles instead of their names. We are going to use the 'resultsheader=' parameter which allows you to use a variable called %PAGES%.
We are going to use a template which contains the following code
{{#dpl:
|category = {{{category}}}
|resultsheader = There are %PAGES% articles on [[:Category:{{{category}}}{{!}}{{{category}}}]] in this wiki.
|noresultsheader = This wiki doesn´t contain any articles on ''{{{category}}}''.
|mode = userformat
}}
We are going to call the template like this:
{{DPL Count|category=Fictitious Countries}}
- This wiki doesn´t contain any articles on Fictitious Country.
- There are 4 articles on Fictitious country in this wiki.
Another way to show multiple article counts
This time we use the headingmode and headingcount parameters. Note that we get a message for each category (except Villages as there are no articles in that category) .
<dpl> ordermethod=category,lastedit category=+Fictitious country|Countries|Cities|Villages headingmode=H4 headingcount=true mode=userformat </dpl>
Extension:DynamicPageList (DPL), version 3.2.1: Warning: Skipping bad option 'H4' for parameter 'headingmode'.
Extension:DynamicPageList (DPL), version 3.2.1: Warning: No results.
