To transclude a page, include both the namespace and the page name (separated with a colon) within the double-brace: When transcluding a template, you may omit the namespace and colon: When transcluding an article in the Main namespace, you may omit the namespace: When transcluding a subpage of the target page, you may use the subpage name by itself:

Parameters

 * includeonly
 * Content within the  tags is transcluded on the target page, but does not appear on the source page.
