***[[m:Help:DPL]] – a MediaWiki extension supporting intersections and other set operations of pages belonging to several categories
** How articles are listed:
***[[Template:DEFAULTSORT]] – specifies how an article will be listed on category pages (for example, an article on "F.M. Smith" could be listed as "Smith, F.M." on all category pages)
***[[User:SmackBot]] – adds DEFAULTSORT to people-related article stubs
