Hey, I'm Andrew, not very good at explaining myself, hence all the userboxes, so just have a look at the infobox and the userboxes, thanks for looking at my userpage.

Main Contributions[edit]

The pages that I contribute to the most are:

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}}
