Transclusion of one page within another

One QED page can only be transcluded^wp within another under certain circumstances. This is because most pages may be subject to read-access restrictions.

Syntax

The syntax to use for transcluding a page depends on the namespace of the target page:

• if the page to be transcluded is in the Template: namespace: {{PageName}}
• if the page to be transcluded in any other namespace, prefix the full page with a colon (":"), e.g.
  • {{:PageInMainNamespace}}
  • {{:Course:PageInCourseNamespace}}

Restrictions

There are no restrictions on transcluding pages that are in the Template:, MediaWiki:, QED:, or Help: namespaces.

Otherwise, transclusion is generally disallowed except as follows:

• Any User:Xyzzy page can transclude any other User:Xyzzy page (where Xyzzy is a user id).
• Any subpage of a folder can transclude any page in the same folder.
• Any top-level page can be transcluded in pages in the Course:, Princeton:, and Project: namespaces.

Images

An image with a URL can be transcluded^wp on a QED page by simply using its URL, but care must be taken with external copyrighted images.

In some cases, it is often a good idea to use the <image> syntax, e.g. so that the image can be captioned or resized appropriately.

Examples:

http://kism.iconnect.co.ke/Aids%20in%20Kenya-%20muhindi.jpg

produces the full-size image inline.

<image src=http://kism.iconnect.co.ke/Aids%20in%20Kenya-%20muhindi.jpg width=200>Caption goes here</image>

produces:

{{TransclusionWarning}} {{transclude|http://kism.iconnect.co.ke/Aids%20in%20Kenya-%20muhindi.jpg||150}}

produces:

Embedding the thumbnail of a transcluded image

If a thumbnail for a transcluded image exists (see Template:Transclude and Help:Image), then Template:Transcluded image thumbnail can be used to embed it with the appropriate hyperlink as illustrated by this example:

{{transcluded image thumbnail|Yellow_Fever_Endemic_Zones_in_Africa|Click on the image to view the Image: page}} produces:
