{{subst:NewDYKnom| article=SelectiveList | hook=...generate a selective list that generate a selective list? | status=new | author= MLA }} Selective Lists gives the possibility to limit the possible user inputs.

e.g. if you want to let the user choose a car, but do not want to give the user the right to add new car-manufactors, just create a car-selective-list, so that the user is only allowed to choose out of this car-catalogue.
