Help:Embed page

This page describes the steps necessary to embed a page within another page. See also: Help:Template.

Syntax

{{Namespace:Pagename}}

If you do not provide a namespace, the Template namespace will be used. For the pages in the main namespace, add a colon before the page name.

Example

{{:Sample Page}} produces the following, which displays the contents of Sample Page inside the box:

This test page is a sample page, used as an example in Help:Embed page.

The box was created, (as with any wikitext transcluded or not) by indenting {{:Sample Page}} here, by one space on a new line. Here is the same transclusion, with the newline, but without the indention: This test page is a sample page, used as an example in Help:Embed page.

You can verify these things by looking directly at the Sample Page and by editing this section.

Embedded special pages

The default install of MediaWiki allows you to embed only selected special pages, such as (depending on version):

• Special:Allpages
• Special:Prefixindex
• Special:Listfiles
• Special:Newimages
• Special:Newpages
• Special:Recentchanges
• Special:Recentchangeslinked
