Hallo! bug 3496: [Idea] Including first xx words od article is describing an attempt to summarise / display parts of a page for a section at the *Main Page*. What about having the following mechanism: a) inside the page there are a few sentences between <intro> and </intro>; these can be preceded with category and or interlanguage lings stuff or images, navigation templates (taxoboxes etc.) {{intro:pAGE}} would be *the* subset of {{nAMEsPACE:pAGEnAME}} between these tags; everything else would be ignored if {{intro:pAGE}} would not work as {{subst:pAGE}} for the relevant sentences it will be a real transclusion and information would not be doubled {{SERVER}}{{localurl:pAGE|action=intro}} could be a link to the introduction of the page; I have no ideas how this would relate to caching Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
I quite like this one, to be honest. Tagging the parts of a page that are classed as it's introduction, then transcluding it when needed.
Please forgive me if I am mistaken (I lack technical expertise), but it seems that this extension would be a subset of a the more general feature that I just submitted at [[bug 5881]]. The more general extension would allow marking off any part of a text to be individually transcluded elsewhere. It could be enormously useful in many contexts.
(In reply to comment #2) > ... [[bug 5881]] ... should read bug 5881
The stable extension Labeled Section Transclusion now solves this bug: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion It has been applied live at Wikisource wikis.
