I think this is relevant to

# [[Rosetta Code:Village Pump/Download Perl Code]]
▲# [[Rosetta Code:Village Pump/Language template enhancements]]
▲# [[Rosetta Code:Village Pump/SMW Examples by language and concept]]
but I'd like to wait until I have a working small example to add to those pages.

==MediaWiki support and documentation==
[[mw:Transclusion|Transclusion]] is the inclusion of content by reference. MediaWiki has a [[mw:Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion|plugin]] for it, which would be ready for use in RosettaCode thanks to consistent use of headers per-programming language, through the [[mw:Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion#Transcluding_sections_by_headings|header-based transclusion]] command it adds to wiki markup.
[[mw:Transclusion|MediaWiki:Transclusion]] has background information and favors one use case,
 
The plugin is not currently installed, according to the [[Special:Version]] page.
but it also mentions [[mw:Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion|MediaWiki:Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion]],
 
▲--[[User:Mcint|Mcint]] ([[User talk:Mcint|talk]]) 0805:0451, 255 SeptemberDecember 2015 (UTC)
which has a particularly useful section in [[mw:Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion#Transclude_a_specific_section]]
 
=Transclusion scratch space=
It says the function can be called as follows:
{{#lsth:pagename|sectionX}}
 
===Current (guesses) conclusions===
Current guess is that using the <nowiki>{{header|...}}</nowiki> macro in a section name is preventing the title from being recognized to do the transclusion
: The extension "Labeled Section Transclusion" isn't available on Rosetta Code. Thus <code>lsth</code> isn't recognized as a parser hook and the whole <code>{{#...}}</code> part is interpreted as normal text. --[[User:AndiPersti|Andreas Perstinger]] ([[User talk:AndiPersti|talk]]) 09:25, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
 
===Attempted Usage===
I would like to call:
<nowiki>=={{header|OCaml}}==</nowiki>
from the [[Pythagorean triples]] page. Also not working:
 
not working:
<nowiki>{{#lsth:Pythagorean triples|OCaml}}</nowiki>
{{#lsth:Pythagorean triples|OCaml}}
nor:
 
nor does
<nowiki>{{#lsth:Pythagorean triples|{{header|OCaml}}}}</nowiki>
{{#lsth:Pythagorean triples|{{header|OCaml}}}}
