Forum:Pages I've created

Forums → Ten Forward → Pages I've created

Is there any way to show a list of all the pages I've created (not just all contributions I've made in the form of edits)? --LauraCC (talk) 15:28, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Under your name, go to contributions, then hit the drop down and select "Only show edits that are page creations" ‐ Yaroze86 (talk) 15:34, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

I was thinking more along the lines of a permanent list, similar to when you use wiki programming to make a list of all the items that are in both of two different categories. --LauraCC (talk) 15:37, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

You could probably do that with DPL; take a look at that. If you need help, let me (or one of the other admins) know. -- Renegade54 (talk) 17:56, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm at a loss. Something like:

<dpl>
  category=all
  user=LauraCC
  status=new page
</dpl>

(shrugs) --LauraCC (talk) 18:02, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Take a look at this help page. But note that it is horribly inefficient. -- Sulfur (talk) 18:14, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, ugh, can't find anything about page authorship. Does MA automatically create hidden categories of who created pages originally? -LauraCC (talk) 18:19, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

See DPL:Manual at FollowTheScore for a complete listing of all the options.

Here's an example:

<dpl>
createdby=LauraCC
namespace=
order=ascending
ordermethod=title
mode=ordered
titlematch=A%
</dpl>

produces

[output removed]

Keep in mind that 1) there's a limit to the number of results returned in a single query (500 currently), and 2) frequent use of DPL puts a heavy load on the servers. -- Renegade54 (talk) 18:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Sweet. Can we do it the other way (hidden category)? Would that save the poor servers? -LauraCC (talk) 18:26, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

No, we're NOT making categories for each person's created pages. -- Sulfur (talk) 19:55, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Is there a server saving alternative, perhaps? --LauraCC (talk) 20:11, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

LOL I can't tell you how many times I've thought something ought to be a page only to find out I once thought that 5 years ago, too, and had already created it. -LauraCC (talk) 19:25, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

DPL is the way to go, even though it's CPU-intensive. If the query is only run occasionally, then it's not a big deal. -- Renegade54 (talk) 22:22, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

I was mainly interested in having a list on my profile page that I wouldn't have to update manually, perhaps with arrows you click on to open whichever letter of the alphabet's pages you wanted to see. --LauraCC (talk) 22:31, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

I created one for you at [[User:LauraCC/DPL]]. -- Renegade54 (talk) 22:35, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Sweet! Can you do the drop down arrow thing, too? (I just learned I've done at least one page for every letter of the alphabet!) --LauraCC (talk) 22:44, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

I moved it to User:LauraCC/Created Pages. --LauraCC (talk) 23:28, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Drop down arrow thing? -- Renegade54 (talk) 00:10, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

An arrow next to each letter, so I can open and close each section? --LauraCC (talk) 00:24, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Is it possible to add a counter that shows the total number of created pages, and possibly the ration of in-universe to realworld pages? -LauraCC (talk) 04:55, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

A good way to accomplish all of what you want would be to collapse the list of pages you have created using the same method as appearances lists on articles. You could do this very easily with the following:

<div class="appear">
*0&ndash;9
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titleregexp=^[0-9]}}*A
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=A%}}*B
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=B%}}*C
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=C%}}*D
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=D%}}*E
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=E%}}*F
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=F%}}*G
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=G%}}*H
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=H%}}*I
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=I%}}*J
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=J%}}*K

{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=L%}}*M
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=M%}}*N
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=N%}}*O

{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=W%}}*X
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=X%}}*Y
{{#dpl:createdby=LauraCC|namespace=|ordermethod=title|format=,**[[%PAGE%]]\n|titlematch=Y%}}*Z

Replace the page's current contents with the above text, then click the "show preview" button to see if you like the result. If you like the page better as it is now but would still like it to show the overall number of pages you've created and make the sections collapsible, just leave a reply here and I'll explain how to do that.
