Tip of the day...

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]]

I’m a user who would like to focus mainly on grammar correcting and behind the scenes stuff.

Lost Figures Project:

This project is a brainchild of mine and is a group of WikiUsers. Our goal is to give the Residtance fighters who gave their lives for us a voice.

We wish to conduct this by creating short pages for unrecognised members if WW2. This would be achieved by looking at Resistance pages and filling in the gaps.

E.G: The Austrian Resistance have almost ALL red names and we can fix that. if you want to join please submit something in my talk page
