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 fioplace a welcome message toon every newcomer's Talk page;Page. you couldTransclusion docreates thisa with"live" yourlink boyfriend/girlfriendbetween the "template" page and the target page(thoughs) yourupon momwhich mightit notappears. beWhen the besttemplate thingis toedited, do!).all the other pages are edited too.

But transclusion creates a "live" link between the "template" page and the target page where it appears. When the template is edited, all the other pages change, 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.
