Template:Type:Test

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}}}
    |mode            = userformat
    |resultsheader   = There are %PAGES% articles on ''{{{category}}}'' in this wiki.
    |noresultsheader = This wiki doesn´t contain any articles on ''{{{category}}}''.
  }}

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.
