'''Labeled Section Transclusion''' (LST) allows you to show part of the contents of one page in one or more places across the wiki. This allows editors to maintain content in one place.

The lead [[Gardener]] recommends using the section head approach to help keep the edit window as clean as possible on all related pages. This approach is not without drawbacks, namely if the section head changes, the transclusion will break, but we feel this is the most pragmatic approach. | The lead [[Gardener]] recommends using the section head approach to help keep the edit window as clean as possible on all related pages.
