'''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.  If the content was copied instead of using LST, a single change to the original text could require numerous edits around the wiki to fix it in all the places it was copied.
