New DPL Possibilities

DynamicPageList has a whole new set of parameters to use, and one, createdby, is useful for user pages. The code

{{#dpl:namespace=|createdby=Username}}

produces an unordered list of articles created by the user. Instead of editing your user page every time you create an article, this will auto-update it for you. By changing the namespace, you can make it do templates, categories, or more than once by doing this:

<DPL>
namespace=Template|Category|Image
createdby=Username
</DPL>

Note that either format I used is acceptable, but using the | as the or sign is only available the second way. The Personal Image Check used this tens of times. I'll add some other uses as I think of them. For those who know the syntax, see here. Wa _T^C_@^Y 19:41, 26 April 2007 (EDT)
