Adding another page – transclusion and templates
Modifying a {{<tvar name="1">ll|Help:Transclusion</tvar>|transcluded}} page will modify every file that transcludes it. </translate>
Template:Ll
<translate> A unique type of page designed for transclusion.</translate> <translate> They are found in the Template: {{<tvar name="1">ll|Help:namespace</tvar>|namespace}}.</translate> <translate> These templates can take parameters.</translate> <translate> All the templates that are used on a page are listed after the edit box when you update it.</translate> <translate> In this example, Quote is a template page designed to display a quote.</translate> |
{{Template:Quote}} |
<translate> Transclusion</translate>
<translate> Combining another page's contents into the current page.</translate> <translate> The below example uses a Quote template page to perform transclusion.</translate> |
{{Quote|quote=<translate><!--T:341--> This is a parameter for a transcluded quote.</translate>}} |
<translate>
Both the <tvar name=1>Template:Ll</tvar> table and the <tvar name=2>Template:Ll</tvar> table of the database contain records of edits.
The <tvar name=1>revision
</tvar> table stores page histories and user contribution lists, while the <tvar name=2>recentchanges
</tvar> table manages recent changes, watchlists, and new page creation lists.
If older edits are removed from the <tvar name=1>recentchanges
</tvar> table while nothing is deleted from the <tvar name=2>revision
</tvar> table, older edits remain visible in page histories and user contribution lists but not in recent changes, related changes watchlists, or the list of new pages.
</translate>
<translate> When {{<tvar name=1>ll|Help:Import</tvar>|importing}} page revisions, the changes are recorded in the <tvar name=2>revision
</tvar> table but not in the <tvar name=3>recentchanges
</tvar> table.</translate>
<translate> This means that while the revisions will show up in the page histories and user contribution lists, they won't appear in recent changes, watchlists, or lists of new pages.</translate>
<translate>
