Talk:Intelligence Intensification/Information Sifting

Obviously this doesn't work as I want :/  Instead of removing the II Speed Reading page and cut-and-paste the text to this page, I would like to import the text from the speed reading page to this page. Why? Alfred Korzybski coined the phrase "The map is not the territory" and anyone familiar with maps know that there are different kinds of maps concentrating on different aspects of the same territory. As this is a modern book I would like to have different maps (Table of contents) to the same territory (text). At the same time, I don't want redundancy. Therefore it would be nice if I could "import" text from other wiki pages. --DanielJanzon 12:45, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Try "move this page" I'll write more about transclusion later. r3m0t (cont) (talk) 17:43, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Moving is not what I want. Transclusion is precisly what I'm looking for. Another idea might be to make the whole book one page. The manual of style says "Try and keep everything in one block because its easier to edit and read". I don't really understand what they mean. Of course, having the whole book in one page isn't compatible with the idea of sveral simulatenous organizations of the book. --DanielJanzon 22:46, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)


 * Transclusion: You put your text-to-transclude at MediaWiki:Whatever. You insert it with or you can substitute it in with.
 * For example, I'm going to subst the TOC into the bottom of the page - it'll copy the source of Template:IITOC over. r3m0t (cont) (talk) 22:49, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)


 * Damn how nice it would be to be able to transclude any page rather then only pages beginning with "MediaWiki:".
 * You can always copy and paste to a "MediaWiki:" page.
