<code>mw.ext.dpl.getFullpagenames{ parameters }</code>

Select and sort pages according to the parameters and return an array of full page names. 

=== mw.ext.dpl.getPagenames ===

<code>mw.ext.dpl.getPagenames{ parameters }</code>

Select and sort pages according to the parameters and return an array of page names without namespace. This is useful if you know the namespace in advance because you have specified it in the arguments.
