This is done with [[Template:List]]. 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. |
