Here is an alternative to the Labeled Section Transclusion<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion>extention (which is currently not installed for WikiEducator). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Transclusion#Transcluding_contents_from_article_sections_--_revisited
I haven't tried it, and not nearly as clean as labeling sections would be, but it might work. Hopefully I'll try it out sometime soon. Wayne: Any estimate of when the extention might be added? If this alternative does work, I'll have to decide between making changes with it now and potentially having to redo all the changes later, and waiting until the update happens. Just curious. :) Scott On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 7:01 AM, valerie <[email protected]> wrote: > > This is sounding promising.
