Please consider to use the latest version of DPL2 (it is now called simply "DPL" again). This version is able to extract template calls and has a lot of
new features. Output formatting was greatly enhanced and the use of symbolic variables makes it much easier to customize results, see the
[http://semeb.com/dpldemo/index.php/Example_2 example].

French wikinews, between its three bureaucrats, insists to activate DPL2. Thanks
for all.

We will not install DPL2 anywhere, as it's a large, complicated extension.

Small, clean, purpose-built extensions which have known performance
characteristics are preferred.

I would like to understand why DynamicPageList should be preferred to DPL2,
while it doesn't allow contributors to make good things, as DPL2 would do.

I insist for activing DPL2 on WN, our communauty wants it.

DPL2 will not be installed anywhere. If specific things are required,
small, clean, purpose-built extensions which have known performance
characteristics are preferred.

Je suis très particulièrement têtu. Wikinews francophone, insiste pour l'activation de cette fonctionnalité dont je n'ai relevé aucun bug sur mon wiki perso
