A major objective is creating indexes by using DPL to display links to and descriptions of pages that are in some category. This is done with [[Template:List Category]]. It creates a definition list with the page title as the term to be defined, and the definition information is fetched with the metadata template [[Template:DES]]. The defined term is linked to the wiki page or (if the page has a metadata template [[Template:URL]]) to an external page. This indexing system deliberately does no transclusion with DPL: all the information extracted comes from the page title and the metadata templates. | A major objective is creating indexes by using DPL to display links to and descriptions of pages that are in some category.

| − | + | The above example is in the two categories explicitly listed, and [[Category:Description]] from the transcluded [[Template:DES]]. The presence of the [[Template:URL]] makes this list with an external link, but a link to the wiki page ([more...]) is appended after the description. If the [[Template:URL]] is not there, the link is to the wiki page only. The <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki> is not necessary unless this page is going to be transcluded elsewhere (since [[Template:List Category]] does not transclude.) | |
