Editing Help:Transclusion (section)

=== Examples ===
{| class="table" style="padding:0.25em; margin-bottom:0.5em; border: 1px #dadde3 solid; background-color: #F5FAFF;"
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{nowrap|[[File:Dialog-information.svg|20px|alt=blue lightbulb]] '''Outline''':}} || using <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Pagename}}</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Template:Pagename}}</syntaxhighlight> will transclude the content of {{Xtn|{{fake link|Template:Pagename}}}}. Using <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{:Pagename}}</syntaxhighlight> instead will transclude the mainspace article titled {{Xtn|{{fake link|Pagename}}}}. Including <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Namespace:Pagename}}</syntaxhighlight> transcludes a page in the defined namespace, such as {{Xtn|{{fake link|Help:Pagename}}}}.
|}

* '''Specifying namespace''': <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Namespace:Pagename}}</syntaxhighlight> will transclude the page titled <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>Namespace:Pagename</syntaxhighlight>. For example, if a page has the wikitext <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Wikipedia:Notability}}</syntaxhighlight> in it, it will transclude the page {{Xtn|[[Wikipedia:Notability]]}} into it. Please note that <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{WP:Notability}}</syntaxhighlight> would do exactly the same thing, as <code>WP:</code> is a [[Wikipedia:Namespace#Aliases|namespace alias]], which is [[Wikipedia:Shortcut#Namespace_aliases|automatically translated]] by the Wikipedia servers to <code>Wikipedia:</code>.

* '''Calling from the Article namespace''': If the namespace is omitted, but the colon is included, like <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{:Pagename}}</syntaxhighlight>, the mainspace article <code>Pagename</code> will be transcluded. For example, <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{:Notability}}</syntaxhighlight> will transclude the article [[Notability|{{Xtn|[[Notability]]}}]].

* '''Template namespace''': If both namespace and colon are omitted, like <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Pagename}}</syntaxhighlight>, the <code>Template:Pagename</code> will be transcluded. For example <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Notability}}</syntaxhighlight>, and also <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Template:Notability}}</syntaxhighlight>, will both transclude the [[Template:Notability|{{Xtn|[[Template:Notability]]}}]].

Additionally, specific {{Section link|Help:Transclusion|Template parameters|nopage=y}} and {{Section link|Help:Transclusion|Transclusion modifiers|nopage=y}} allow [[Parameter (computer programming)|parameters]] to be passed to templates, alter how transclusion occurs, and therefore the output customized. This is explained in more detail below.
