Tip of the Day edit

 
Displaying one page within another = Transclusion

Including the contents of a template page on a different page (by surrounding the page name with double braces, i.e. "{{}}" and leaving out the "Template:" prefix) is called transclusion.

This allows the other page to be automatically updated whenever the template page is updated.

Besides templates, pages in the following namespaces can be transcluded:

  • Category:
  • Help:
  • Portal:
  • User:
  • Wikipedia:

The only difference between transcluding these and templates is that you must include the prefix (followed by a colon) with the page's name inside the double braces.

Images also can be transcluded, but this is done using double square brackets instead of braces.

Here are some examples of transclusion:

{{Pic of the day}} · {{Help:Contents}} · [[Image:Wikipedia-logo.png]]

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}

Silhouette of Anna Blackburne

Anna Blackburne (1726–1793) was an English botanist and collector. She was born at Orford Hall in Lancashire into a family of landowners and after her mother's death she remained there with her father, John Blackburne, who had hothouses for exotic plants and an extensive library. Blackburne taught herself Latin so she could read the Systema Naturae of Carl Linnaeus, and created a natural history museum where she collected insects, shells, minerals and birds. She knew the naturalist Johann Reinhold Forster, who instructed her in entomology, and corresponded with other naturalists including Linnaeus. Her brother Ashton, who lived in New York, sent her specimens of North American birds, which were described by the naturalist Thomas Pennant in his Arctic Zoology. After her father's death, Blackburne and her museum moved to nearby Fairfield Hall. After her death, her nephew John Blackburne inherited her collection. Several species are named for her, including the Blackburnian warbler. (Full article...)
