Line 13:
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 the message should appear. When the template is edited, all the target-pages are edited too. For example, you create a (template) page in Wikipedia with your home mailing address (note: please don't list your home mailing address on Wikipedia!) and then include that template not only on your page, but all your friends' pages, too. Later, after moving to a new house, you then update your address template and the ''new'' address will automatically appear on all your friends' pages.<noinclude>
