DPL needs a parameter or heading to transclude page info. 

Just use a template

{{bullet|snow|hail|sleet}}

Have the template bullet list 
*[[{{{1|}}}]]
*[[{{{2|}}}]]
etc

But I would integrate into an if call

{{#if:{{{1|}}}|*[[{{{1|}}}]]|}}

To automate categorization you based on page name you need to pass the page 
name you use the template on. 

{{bullet|snow|hail|sleet|page={{PAGENAME}}}}

Now you can add categorization splicing together {{{page|}}} and the listing of 
parameter numbers in the if call. 

Limitations, you'd have to allow for 10 or whatever # would be you max if 
parameters and have a statement for each checking value.  

Probably better to use the Arrays extension and use a comma to separate the 
values. Then call with a #arrays print call. 

{{bullet|snow,sleet,hail|page={{PAGENAME}}}}
