Purpose

A transclude text page provides a central location for text relating to a topic that is discussed in more than one style guideline article. The goal is to prevent conflict between the various style guides that discuss the topic. Until and unless there is consensus, transclude text pages should only be used in Wikipedia style guidelines.

Creation

NOTE: If you create a transclude text page please add its name to the list below.

The best way to create a transclude text page is to use an existing page as a guide.

You should title the page "Wikipedia:[name of main article] TT [description of transclude text topic]"[1] For example:

Wikipedia:Accessibility TT lead section

Markup

NOTE: If you insert transclude text into an article then you should add the name of that article to the list at the end of the transclude page you are inserting.

As explained in more detail at Wikipedia:Transclusion, you can insert a transclude text page into a style guideline by inserting the title between curly braces. For example:

{{Wikipedia:Lead section TT text}}

If a transclude page includes show/hide text you can have the transclude text display with that text shown by adding "|show=1." For example:

{{Wikipedia:Accessibility TT lead section|show=1}}

Notes

  1. ^ The TT stands for "T"ransclude "T"ext and alerts readers to the nature of the page.
