| - To transclude something is to bring something on to a page so you don't have to.
- For example, an article about a country might include a chart or a paragraph describing that country's agricultural exports from a different article about agriculture. Rather than copying the included data and storing it in two places, a transclusion embodies modular design, by allowing it to be stored only once (and perhaps corrected and updated if the link type supported that) and viewed in different contexts. The reference also serves to link both articles. The term was coined by hypertext pioneer Ted Nelson in 1982.
- A Transclusion is when the code from a page is put onto another. It is usually used with templates, but it can also be used with other namespaces
- Transclusion, a word developed by Ted Nelson, is the process of including something by reference rather than by copying.
- Some hypertext systems, including Ted Nelson's Xanadu Project, support transclusion. For example, an article about a country might include a chart or a paragraph describing that country's agricultural exports from a different article about agriculture. Rather than copying the included data and storing it in two places, a transclusion embodies modular design, by allowing it to be stored only once (and perhaps corrected and updated if the link type supported that) and viewed in different contexts.

| - To transclude something is to bring something on to a page so you don't have to.
- For example, an article about a country might include a chart or a paragraph describing that country's agricultural exports from a different article about agriculture. Rather than copying the included data and storing it in two places, a transclusion embodies modular design, by allowing it to be stored only once (and perhaps corrected and updated if the link type supported that) and viewed in different contexts. The reference also serves to link both articles. The term was coined by hypertext pioneer Ted Nelson in 1982.

The reference also serves to link both articles. Nelson coined the term "transclusion," as well as "hypertext" and "hypermedia", in his 1982 book, Literary Machines. Part of his proposal was the idea that micropayments could be automatically exacted from the reader for all the text, no matter how many snippets of content are taken from various places. Nelson has recently delivered a demonstration of Web transclusion, the Little Transquoter (programmed to Nelson's specification by Andrew Pam). It creates a new format built on portion addresses from Web pages; when dereferenced, each portion on the resulting page remains click-connected to its original context-- always a key aspect of transclusion for Nelson, but missing in most implementations of transclusion.
