Forum:Feed gallery from category

Hi there! Sorry if this is already answer elsewhere but I did search for but didn't have much luck. Basically what I'm interested in doing is creating galleries that are fed by categories; you see, one of the wikis I'm helping with is organising all of its images into categories by episode and so-on, but it would be nice to be able to put a gallery on an episode's main article, and have it display images or a slideshow from the corresponding category, allowing it update automatically as images are added.

I notice that there's an RSS feed feature, is there a way to get a category as an RSS feed perhaps, or a way that Wikia could provide such a feature in future? It would be a very useful way to avoid having to manually maintain a bunch of galleries or slideshows. -- Haravikk 20:37, June 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * The Dynamic Page List extension is what you're looking for to create galleries consisting of images from specific categories, that update automatically. The extension has to be enabled via Special:Contact. The most basic syntax for such a gallery would be:

 category = category with images escapelinks = false


 * Although in order to make it look decently you will need to apply additional formatting. — Sovq 20:58, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
