{{SITENAME}} currently supports [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/UsingDynamicPageList2 Dynamic Page List Version 2] (v0.5.1), which is useful for producing lists of pages dynamically using a simple query language.

Queries take the form of marked up text. For example, the query:

<pre>
<DPL>
category=Africa|Europe
category=Politics and conflicts
</DPL>
</pre>

will output pages that are in:
<nowiki>
([[Category:Africa]] OR [[Category:Europe]]) AND [[Category:Politics and conflicts]]
</nowiki>

The above query is equivalent to the following:
<pre>
<DPL> category=Africa|Europe category=Politics and conflicts </DPL>
</pre>

Note that so far as DPL queries are concerned, a page is in a category if and only if it has been specifically tagged as such. For queries that traverse the subcategory relation, see [[Help:Category_Queries]].

==Examples==
'''Query:''' Display all pages in [[:Category:MediaWiki Extensions]].

'''DPL Query:'''
<pre><DPL>
ordermethod=lastedit
category=MediaWiki Extensions
</DPL>
</pre>

'''Result:'''

<DPL>
ordermethod=lastedit
category=MediaWiki Extensions
</DPL>

----
'''Query:''' Display all pages in the '''Main:''' [[Help:Namespaces|namespace]] that are also in [[:Category:MediaWiki Extensions]].

'''DPL Query:'''
<pre><DPL>
namespace=Main
category=MediaWiki Extensions
</DPL>
</pre>

'''Result:'''

<DPL>
namespace=Main
category=MediaWiki Extensions
</DPL>


===Conjunction===
'''Query:''' Display pages that are in both [[:Category:Glyph]] and [[:Category:Symbol]]

'''DPL query:'''
<nowiki>
<DPL>
ordermethod=title
category=glyph
category=symbol
</DPL>
</nowiki>

'''Result:'''
<DPL>
ordermethod=title
category=glyph
category=symbol
</DPL>
