You can have a DPL that includes:
- Category:Africa and Category:Musicians to show musicians from Africa
-- we can produce a list of images, or a gallery
- Category:Ariel Sharon and Category:Political Cartoons but not
Category:Controversy
- Category:CurrentEvents but not Category:Disputed
The intersections can be formatted as tables, or as lists, or as
columns, or as galleries, etc.
This way our landing pages are just listing images using categories as
tags. Seems like it's the same idea as what Mangus has started
developing, except for the fact that DPL has been in development for
years now and is in some use on various WM sites :-) For example,
Wikinews uses an older version of the DPL to allow articles to appear
on the right pages without anyone linking to them explicitly (e.g.
"last 10 articles about science and technology in Africa that are not
disputed and have been marked as published")
Yeah, but <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8261> has
been open for 15 months and I'm not holding my breath. Keep working...
cheers,
