Hi Scott --
Yip -- transclusion is a very powerful feature of the Mediawiki
software!
I see what you're trying to do with the case study examples. I had a
bash transcluding a subsection as in "{{:Foo/Bar#summary}}" -- but this
doesn't work --- it pulls in the full page. Perhaps you can find a work
around using the <include> and <noinclude> tags, but suspect that this
would not work in your specific application.
However, with a little smart design using subpages etc, you could create
flexible alternatives, eg:
on the Case Study A page, you could transclude:
{{:Case Study A/Summary}}
{{:Caste StudyA/Body}}
{{:Case Study A /Examples}}
This would present the full case study on the Case Study A page. Note
that Summary, Body and Examples are subpages of Case Study A.
However on the Case study summary page you could transclude as follows:
{{:Case Study A/Summary}}
{{:Case Study B/Summary}}
Hope this helps.
