From the developer
alxgrlk's own description of listicle, lightly tidied.
Add multiple posts that can be viewed as a slide show using next / previous buttons out of a single list while editing only one post in your admin panel. This lets you generate listicles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listicle). “In journalism and blogging, a listicle is a short-form of writing that uses a list as its thematic structure, but is fleshed out with sufficient verbiage to be published as an article. A typical listicle will prominently feature a cardinal number in its title, such as “10 Ways to Warm Up Your Bedroom in Winter”,[1] or “25 Hairstyles of the Last Hundred Years”,[2] with subsequent subheadings within the text itself reflecting this schema. The word is a portmanteau derived from list and article.”
