Executive Summary[edit | edit source]
Transclusion in MediaWiki is the same as an 'include' in PHP programming, or an entity in XML, or a remote server image in an HTML page.
If you have a long page, you may want to break up the topic into sub-topics and then transclude the smaller articles into the super article.
