This would be a pretty Screwed up trick if it only meant that you didn't have to suck and sip from one page to another. For example, you might decide to place a welcome message on every newcomer's Talk Page. Transclusion creates a "live" link between the "template" page and the target page(s) upon which it appears. When the template is edited, all the other pages are edited too.

For example, you ''might'' decide to create a (template) page with your mailing address and include that template on not only your page, but all your friends' pages, too. When you move your [[television]] and couch to another apartment, you will ''change'' your address template, and automatically, that ''new information'' will appear on all your friends' pages.
