Page Content Type
Main Page Important: Some levels of functional richness can cause high database or CPU load, and should be carefully considered. warn
Note
Slow Warning: This keyword can result in very slow and inefficient queries on your MediaWiki system, potentially impacting performance for all users (see bug report). error
Dplvar Note: Variables can be set and retrieved from an article, or from templates used in that article.
General usage and invocation syntax Important: DPL4 does not normally return its own page (a self link/reference) in the result set. To include a page that references itself in the result, you must use skipthispage error
General usage and invocation syntax Note: This feature was removed in DPL4 version 3.0.0. error
Controlling output format Note: As the below information is difficult to understand, there are additional DPL4 commands (table, tablerow) which make it fairly quick/easy to create tabular output. If tabular output is needed, skip to the table section.
Controlling output format Note: Requires the HitCounters extension.

Controlling output format error
Criteria for page selection Important: the category command uses the pipe | symbol to delimit its arguments (logical OR). When using DPL4 with the parser function syntax (the more powerful syntax), the pipe symbol must be escaped either by using the broken pipe ¦ symbol, or the magic word {{!}}.
Criteria for page selection Most DPL4 parameters depend on the existence of a page. If openreferences is set, none of those parameters can be used. Examples of conflicting parameters are all parameters related to categories, revisions, authors, redirections, and some other parameters. warn
Criteria for page selection Normally setting openreferences to true lists non-existing images, including those not housed locally, such as images used from Wikimedia Commons; however, currently this function may cause errors that prevent a page from being saved. warn
Criteria for page selection Caution: The implementation of this feature is not very efficient. Use with care and avoid huge result sets. warn
Criteria for page selection This parameter's behavior is different from most other selection criteria, it is primarily useful for including/transcluding contents from one specific page.
Criteria for page selection This parameter was standardized to titlelt and it is recommended to switch instances to the new wording. For compatibility purposes, title< continues to work.
Criteria for page selection This parameter was standardized to titlegt and it is recommended to switch instances to the new wording. For compatibility purposes, title> continues to work.
Other parameters
Other parameters Note: execandexit acts like a short-circuit evaluation. This means, for example, that successive statements to influence caching behavior (like allowcachedresults) are not interpreted.
Controlling output order See sortkey for sorting by page order in a category.
Controlling output order Note: Requires the HitCounters extension for wikis on MediaWiki 1.25.0 or higher since the counter feature was removed[1]; this extension is not yet available on Miraheze wikis.
Controlling output volume Requires Extension:HitCounters to be used. This extension is not yet available on Miraheze.
Controlling output volume Formerly, this example stated that if more than one section exists with the same name, only the first is displayed, similar to how Labeled Selection Transclusion functions); however, this currently includes all sections with the same name, and may appear differently in different result formats.
Controlling output volume Note: Content related to or involving filters may be non-working or incorrect; as such, this section may be removed at a later date. warn
Controlling output volume Formerly it was stated that, if a page listed in the result does not use the specified template, the DPL4 engine calls a template with the additional suffix ".default", with Controlling output volume and Controlling output volume as parameters; this is not currently true, ".default" does not appear, the result just won't display.

DPL4 scroll/doc Note: %TOTALPAGES% when used in resultsheader or resultsfooter, may cause both to intermittently appear/disappear. Currently, this template is only usable when there's a set number of expected results, such as pages in a category. {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Category name|R}} is used to adjust for this. warn

DPL4 scroll
DPL parameter.surrogateexample/doc This surrogate template requires the ParserFunctions extension, and it requires $wgPFEnableStringFunctions to be set to "true" (enabled) in order to function correctly; on Miraheze, ParserFunctions is already installed and the latter setting can be found and enabled in ManageWiki. The #sub parser function, used to add the "more..." text in this example, is for demonstration purposes only; it may break nowiki or other tags (creating undesired results) if it splits a result in the middle of one of such tags.
