DPL needs a parameter or heading to transclude page info.
Just use a template
{{bullet|snow|hail|sleet}}
Have the template bullet list
*[[{{{1|}}}]]
*[[{{{2|}}}]]
etc
But I would integrate into an if call
{{#if:{{{1|}}}|*[[{{{1|}}}]]|}}
To automate categorization you based on page name you need to pass the page name you use
the template on.
{{bullet|snow|hail|sleet|page={{PAGENAME}}}}
Now you can add categorization splicing together {{{page|}}} and the listing of parameter
numbers in the if call.
Limitations, you'd have to allow for 10 or whatever # would be you max if parameters
and have a statement for each checking value.
Probably better to use the Arrays extension and use a comma to separate the values. Then
call with a #arrays print call.
{{bullet|snow,sleet,hail|page={{PAGENAME}}}}

Tried Dynamic Page List 2.01 (Third Party)
It doesn't seem to work with text in bulletpoints, as I wanted to use it
autocategorize all items between the DPL parser tags in a Category with same name as the
article the bullet pointed items are on.
I.E. - All items in a bulletpointed list (that link to other article pages) would be
autocategorized in a category with the same name as the article the bullet pointed items
are in.
If someone could spell put how I might be able to use DPL parser code for this purpose
(an example of how this would look when typed out would be quite helpful), it would be
appreciated.
If this is the wrong extension or DPL cannot do this, I'm open to alternatives.

You should have a look at Semantic MediaWiki, Dynamic Pagelist, or similar extensions!

in MediaWiki?
Sorry. My last post got slightly garbled...still new to using this mailing list, so
here's my message again:
I was curious if there is a way to take a bullet pointed list of internal wiki links to
other articles (whether they contain content or not) on a single page and have them
automatically categorized to the category to same name as the article page.
For example, I have the article page "Snow", and I want to add a list of
subtopics on the article page "Snow" to the category "Snow", with
subtopics being:
(bulletpoint one)Flurries (bulletpoint two) Hail (bulletpoint three) Sleet
My question is if there is a template, extension, or wiki parser expressions I should use
to make all items on a bullet pointed list be autocategorized in the category with the
same name as the article page.
If anyone has any ideas or knows what I need, any assistance would be greatly
appreciated.
