Looking for some guidance on transcludable pages. Can't find any help articles or information. I'm trying to add info to a transcludable page, but when I preview it, my changes do not appear.

I could not find any sandbox examples of your working with transclusion, but here are the basics:

• The target page transcludes some page: {{:InsertMyPage}}
• InsertMyPage, meanwhile, usually has a section bounded by the tags <includeonly>

  Alternately, it could have everything ELSE bounded by <noinclude>. This should be done only sparingly, as additions to the page can be more difficult.

• If you have something you want NOT to appear when InsertMyPage is viewed directly, you can use <onlyinclude> around it. If you have an includeonly section, you'll want your onlyinclude section to be within it.

You will likely want to either include the tag {{transclude}}, or to include the page in Category:Transcludable pages if it does not stand up as a page in its own right.
