Transclusions allows use of single-source 'boilerplate text' to be replicated across multiple pages.
See - [[Templates-Transclusion/doc]]

Generally these should be standalone, uncategorised, pages, containing just the core text.
 
Most useful for 'Function Reference' listings pages, and their matching detail pages.
 
A transclusion can call other transclusions, see the sample [[#Related Transclusion|Related Transclusion]] below.

=== Transclusion templates - Creating ===
Detail here.
 
Naming convention.
 
The comment section should '''always''' be left in place in the transclusion page.
<br>
This allows editors to easily copy & paste the wikicode directly into their required content page.
 
=== Transclusion templates - Applying ===
As per all wiki internal links, creating a link in a page, then clicking that link will take you to that page, (or editor window).
 
e.g.
Pasting the following code into your page -
<pre>
{{:Transclusion-Missions-SeeDetail}}
</pre>
Gives the following output -
{{:Transclusion-Missions-SeeDetail}}
 
=== Transclusion templates - Editing Content ===
Editing a page containing a transclusion, will not display the content text, just the calling wikicode.
<br>
Look beneath the edit window, you'll see a list of links to all the 'templates' called in that page.
<br>
Clicking those links allows direct editing of the transclusion's content.
<br>
Editing the transclusion page itself, will cause text on every calling page to display the applied changes.
