Document attempts at transcluding from remote wikis
<nowiki>{{:Article Name}}</nowiki>
Note: since templates have their own 'template' namespace while regular articles are in the default namespace and thus use a preceding colon
== Transcluding from Other Wikis ==
According to [[mw:Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding]], you can enable 'scary transclusion' (and as long as the interwiki table is in accordance), you can include templates and article content from remote wikis. However, my tests could not get this to work. I tried multiple variations.
;using 'raw' and the 'wp' interwiki prefix to grab the POTD template:<nowiki>{{raw:wp:POTD/{{#time:Y-m-d}}|image}}</nowiki>
;using the 'commons' interwiki link:<nowiki>{{commons:Potd|width=300|float=right|lang=en}}</nowiki>
;with magic words:<nowiki>{{commons:Potd/{{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY2}}}}</nowiki>
;using a <code>file:</code> approach with 'subst(itution)' and 'raw':<nowiki>[[File:{{subst:raw:commons:Potd/{{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY2}}}}]]</nowiki>
