The RadioReference Wiki has some custom extensions.  Many of these can be used to display dynamic data in the database of custom pages of information. They are currently as follows:
  
 +
== Displaying Conventional Frequencies ==
 +
You can display conventional frequencies stored in the database with the following tag:
 +
<pre>
 +
<nowiki><freqsubcat>xxx</freqsubcat></nowiki>
 +
</pre>
 +
Where:
 +
 +
xxx = The Frequency Subcategory ID
 +
 +
To find the subcat ID, click on the page symbol with the small circle next to it, and the following results:

== Displaying Frequencies for a Trunked System ==
 +
You can display the frequencies for a Trunked Radio System in the database with the following tag:

<pre>

<nowiki><site>xxx|yy</site></nowiki>
 +
</pre>
 +
Where:
 +
 +
xxx = The Trunked Radio Database sid number
 +
yy  = The system's site number
 +

To find the "sid" for a trunked system, look in the URL for each trunked system entry:
 +
 +
[[image:Determine sid3.0.gif|normal|Determining Trunked System SID]]
 +

The site number is shown on the far left column of each row of trunked system frequencies under the column named 'site'

 +
 +
Where:
 +
 +
xxx = The Trunked Radio Database sid number

The SID is found using the method above.

To find the group name, go down to the desired talkgroups and point at the page symbol with a small circle next to it. The following display results:

The RadioReference Wiki has some custom extensions. Many of these can be used to display dynamic data in the database of custom pages of information. They are currently as follows:

Displaying Conventional Frequencies

You can display conventional frequencies stored in the database with the following tag: 

<freqsubcat>xxx</freqsubcat>

Where: 

xxx = The Frequency Subcategory ID

To find the subcat ID, click on the page symbol with the small circle next to it, and the following results:

Displaying Frequencies for a Trunked System

You can display the frequencies for a Trunked Radio System in the database with the following tag: 

<site>xxx|yy</site>

Where: 

xxx = The Trunked Radio Database sid number 
yy  = The system's site number

To find the "sid" for a trunked system, look in the URL for each trunked system entry:

Determining Trunked System SID

The site number is shown on the far left column of each row of trunked system frequencies under the column named 'site'

Finding the site number

Displaying Talkgroups

You can display the talkgroups for a Trunked Radio System in the database with the following tag: 

<tg>xxx|yyyyyyyyyyyy</tg>

Where: 

xxx = The Trunked Radio Database sid number
yyyyyyyyyyyy  = The talkgroup group name

The SID is found using the method above. To find the group name, go down to the desired talkgroups and point at the page symbol with a small circle next to it. The following display results:

Displaying Recently Updated Frequencies and Talkgroups

You've submitted changes to the database, they've been entered - why can't I see the changes on the Wiki?

The reason is that you are getting your old page from the Wiki's page cache. What is needed is to clear the cache, so the Wiki is forced to rebuild a new article, and the extensions will pull the updated information. To do this, add the statement ?action=purge to the end of the URL, then press enter.

It's recommended that all articles that use the extensions to pull frequencies and talkgroups add a link at the bottom of the article for this purpose. Using the <small> tag will keep it out of the way of the rest of the details. For example

<small>[http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Andrews_Air_Force_Base%2C_MD?action=purge Refresh] this page from the latest database entry</small>

Displaying EBay Search Results

You can display Ebay search results with the following tag: 

<ebay>Your Search Here</ebay>

This extension is helpful for displaying used equipment on many of the equipment pages.
