Displaying one page within another = Transclusion

Including the contents of a template page on a different page (by surrounding the page name with double braces, i.e. "{{}}" and leaving out the "Template:" prefix) is called transclusion.

This allows the other page to be automatically updated whenever the template page is updated.

Besides templates, pages in the following namespaces can be transcluded:

  • Category:
  • Help:
  • Portal:
  • User:
  • Wikipedia:

The only difference between transcluding these and templates is that you must include the prefix (followed by a colon) with the page's name inside the double braces.

Images also can be transcluded, but this is done using double square brackets instead of braces.

Here are some examples of transclusion:

{{Pic of the day}} · {{Help:Contents}} · [[Image:Wikipedia-logo.png]]

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use
{{tip of the day}}

John Mooney's Page[edit]

Hi,

I read an article in the Economist recently that had a bit in about John Mooney, and when I looked at his page on Wikipedia I noticed that you had made a lot of edits to the page, so as someone who has an interest in him, I thought I;d ask your advice before updating his page. Basically, given his statements on his past troubles with mental health, I was wondering whether it was worth mentioning. My perspective is that I think that to have been so open is a very courageous thing, and I think he deserves credit for doing so, especially in the light of cricket's long-standing problems in that area. But I'm concerned that in mentioning it in some depth on his page, might seem like oblique criticism, which is the opposite of what I intend.

I'm happy to do the work, but I was just looking for someone else's perspective. Have you any thoughts?
