I want to tag with a "sre-foundations" category all the wikis that are related to my team, and then get that displayed in "documentation" section of my team's wiki page. I especially care about having that list auto updated whenever somebody adds the "sre-foundations" category to any new wiki page. I know that dpl is quite heavy, so I want to make sure it won't cause any performance issues. If the dpl is not an option, could you please advise what I could use instead.

Hi, which "dpl" is this about? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList_(Wikimedia) / https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/intersection ?
Setting project to Wikimedia-Site-requests, as this request is about settings / configuration of a Wikimedia website (see also https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes ).
Is there something you want to accomplish that normal category pages (example) do not accomplish?
2 alternatives, in case helpful, depending on what your desired use-cases are...
I.e. Do you just want an alphabetical listing of pages within a category, or do you want an chronologically-ordered-by-last-update listing? And, does it need to be embedded within the page, or can it be a link?
(1) For an alphabetical and embedded listing, we can use CategoryTree
- Example: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_at_WMF#Pages_in_the_MediaWiki_production_category
- Docs: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree
(2) For a chronological but linked listing, we can use the default Special:RecentChangesLinked feature. That page will show details about each change directly within the output. However it cannot be embedded directly within the page, only linked-to.
- Example: for the "Cloud Services" category (using my custom colors)
- Basic page: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChangesLinked
