Installation issue
Having trouble installing LST. I am a total noob when it comes to php so no doubt have done soemthing bvery obviously wrong but when I put require_once ( 'extensions/LabeledSectionTransclusion/lst.php' ); in my localsettings.php my homepage disappears to be replaced by this:

/[mediawiki]/trunk/extensions/LabeledSectionTransclusion/lst.php Wikimedia ViewVC logotype Log of /trunk/extensions/LabeledSectionTransclusion/lst.php Parent Directory Parent Directory | Revision Log Revision Log Links to HEAD: 	(view) (download) (annotate) Revision 109709 - (view) (download) (annotate) - [select for diffs] Modified Sun Jan 22 00:57:31 2012 UTC (5 months, 2 weeks ago) by reedy File length: 13850 byte(s) Diff to previous 109402 Bug 33868 - descriptionmsg is missing Fix line by kgh Revision 109402 - (view) (download) (annotate) - [select for diffs] Modified Wed Jan 18 17:12:00 2012 UTC (5 months, 3 weeks ago) by siebrand File length: 13817 byte(s) Diff to previous 107784 Remove use of deprecated LanguageGetMagic hook. Add FIXMEs hackish uses. Some misc. whitespace updates.

... and so on for about 300 lines! What am I doing wrong?

I am hosted by siteground and I notice all the other require_onces i have done are within "double" quotes and reference the extensions folder at like so require_once( "$IP/extensions/[...]" }; I have tried editing the line to be consistent with that but it makes no odds. Have I done something stupid? ElectricRay (talk) 21:31, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Transcluding one section multiple times on a page
This problem has already been mentioned in Bugreport: Cannot transclude the same section more than once on a page and Insert one section twice, but it never seems to have been resolved. When using  to transclude the same section two or more times on a page, all subsequent instances after the first generate links in place of the transclusion. This problem can be solved by using  calls (from Extension:DynamicPageList) instead, such as

in place of

but it would be preferable to have the functionality built-into this extension (both because the syntax is simpler and because not everyone has access to dpl on their wiki). Thanks.
