Use of noinclude tags

[edit]

Previously, we had the DYK section of the Footy Portal which was updated rarely by the DYK project and footy members (for rarely, read: once sometime in 2006). Since we now have a repository of footy dyk's that is a bit more likely to be updated, I thought it might be a good idea to capitalise on it and use it to show our latest 5 entries on other pages (the portal, peoples userpages, project pages, wherever). This is achievable through the use of <noinclude> </noinclude> tags, which are part of the wikimarkup for templates. Any page can be transcluded into another, but these tags allow you to pick and choose content to be shown. e.g.

This is a live demonstration of using <noinclude> </noinclude> tags on the page and then transcluding it (like a template) as

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Did you know}}

If it's a good idea, I'll replace the current Portal DYK with this. It's a lot easier than manually updating it (why update two pages with the same information) and a lot easier than trying to create a random fact generator. Plus it will mean that this area of the Portal will always have the most current entries on show (dependant on this page being updated). Nanonic 01:34, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
