For example, you might decide to place a welcome message on every newcomer's Talktalk Pagepage.

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.<!-- This is incorrect. --> For example, you create a (template) page in Wikipedia with your home mailing address 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.
