You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((High-use))
((Documentation subpage))
((Lua|Module:Excerpt))
This template is used for reusing parts of pages in other pages. This practice has various [[#Advantages and disadvantages|advantages and disadvantages]].

This template extends the capabilities of the built-in [[Help:Transclusion|normal transclusion]] and [[Help:Labeled section transclusion|labeled section transclusion]].

==Usage==

* <code><nowiki>((Excerpt|Page title))</nowiki></code> — Transclude the lead section ([[Africa#Water|example]])
* <code><nowiki>((Excerpt|Page title|Section title))</nowiki></code> — Transclude a specific section, excluding any subsections ([[Eating#Mammals|example]])

==Parameters==

There is one required parameter, and numerous optional ones for configuring the excerpt:

=== Summary ===

'''Source identification'''

* ((para|1)) – Name of the article or page to transclude. '''Required.''' Aliases: ((para|article)) or ((para|page)). 
* ((para|2)) – Name of the section or tag to transclude. Optional; if omitted, transcludes the lead section (content above the first section header). Aliases: ((para|section)) or ((para|fragment)).

'''Transclusion config'''

Transcludable content is defined as one of several ''element types'': ((pval|file)), ((pval|list)), ((pval|paragraph)), ((pval|reference)), ((pval|subsection)), ((pval|table)), or ((pval|template)). 
Config parameters specify which ''element type'' to transclude, and in some cases, ''how many'' and ''which'' items of that type to transclude. All config parameters are optional; if omitted, all items of all element types are transcluded from the source page identified by the two unnamed parameters. Some element types support conditional item transclusion by specifying an item number range (1-3) or comma series (1, 2, 5); these types include: files, lists, paragraphs, and tables.

There are ten optional transclusion configuration parameters:
* ((para|only)) – Element types to transclude. Values: ((pval|file(s))), ((pval|list(s))), ((pval|table(s))), ((pval|template(s))), ((pval|paragraph(s))). Default: all element types.
* ((para|files)) – [[WP:FILE|Files]] to transclude. Default: all files. Same basic syntax as ((para|paragraphs)), but see ((slink||Details)).
** ((para|onlyfreefiles|no)) – Enables transclusion of [[WP:Non-free content|non-free files]]. Default: exclude non-free content.
* ((para|links|no)) – Unlink all [[H:WIKILINK|wikilinks]] and render as plain text.
* ((para|lists)) – Lists ([[MOS:LIST#Bulleted lists|bulleted]], [[MOS:LIST#Numbered lists|numbered]]) to transclude. Default: all lists. Same syntax as for ((para|paragraphs)).
* ((para|paragraphs)) – [[H:PARAGRAPH|Paragraphs]] to transclude. Default: all paragraphs.
* ((para|references|no)) – Exclude all [[WP:REF|references]] between <code><nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki></code> tags.
* ((para|subsections|yes)) – Include [[MOS:SECTIONS|subsections]] of the transcluded section. Default: only content above the first subsection header.
* ((para|tables)) – [[Help:Table|Tables]] to transclude. Default: all tables. Same basic syntax as ((para|paragraphs)), but see ((slink||Details)).
* ((para|templates)) – [[Help:Template|Templates]] to transclude. By default all templates are transcluded, except those blacklisted at [[Module:Excerpt/config]]. See ((slink||Details)) for how to specify a specific template or templates for inclusion or exclusion.

'''Style and extra features'''

These optional parameters alter the way transcluded items are displayed:

* ((para|bold|yes)) – Preserve '''bold''' text.
* ((para|briefdates|yes)) – Abbreviate birth and death information to (YYYY-YYYY) format
* ((para|displaytitle)) – Change the text of the link in the hatnote. For example, [[WP:ITHAT|add italics]], subscripts, etc.
* ((para|hat|no)) – Hide the [[Wikipedia:Hatnote|hatnote]] "This section is an excerpt from..."
* ((para|inline|yes)) – Remove the hatnote and <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code> tags around the excerpt, to use it inside other text, or to add references or other content after it [[#Suppress line breaks between paragraphs|with no paragraph break]] between them.
* ((para|quote|yes)) – Wrap the excerpt with <code><nowiki><blockquote></nowiki></code> tags.
* ((para|this)) – Change the initial text of the hatnote. For example, if the transcluded content is a gallery, you can set ((para|this|This gallery is)) so that the hatnote reads "This gallery is an excerpt from..."

=== Details ===

* ((para|1)) or ((para|article)) or ((para|page))
*: By default the lead section is transcluded ([[Africa#Water|example]]). If the page contains an infobox, the image and caption of the infobox will be transcluded (unless ((para|files|0)) is set). Also, templates listed at [[Module:Excerpt/config]] will not be transcluded (unless requested explicitly with ((para|templates)), see below).
* ((para|2)) or ((para|section)) or ((para|fragment))
*: Name of the section to transclude ([[Eating#Mammals|example]]) or of the <code><nowiki><section></nowiki></code> tag to transclude ([[Axiom Space#AX-1|example]]). In the case of a section tag, the section must be marked with <code><nowiki><section begin="Name of the fragment" /></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><section end="Name of the fragment" /></nowiki></code> in the page to be transcluded. Notice that this template provides other ways of targeting specific fragments of a page without having to resort to section tags.
* ((para|only))
*: The ''element type'' to transclude, excluding all other types. By default all element types are transcluded. Param ((para|only)) is an exclusionary param, and excludes all other types of elements, except the one you name, so that for example, specifying ((para|only|paragraphs)) excludes all lists, tables, templates, and so on. Param values can be in the singular (e.g., ((para|only|paragraph))) or plural (e.g., ((para|only|paragraphs))) and mean different things: in the singular, only the first item of that element type is transcluded; in the plural, all items are. 
*:* ((para|only|file)) – Transclude only the first file (but no lists, paragraphs, tables, etc.)
*:* ((para|only|files)) – Transclude all files (but nothing else)
*:* ((para|only|list)) – Transclude only the first list, exclude all other element types
*:* ((para|only|lists)) – Transclude all lists (but nothing else)
*:* ((para|only|table)) – Transclude only the first table, exclude all other element types
*:* ((para|only|tables)) – Transclude all tables  (but nothing else) ([[JKT48#Singles|example]]) 
*:* ((para|only|template)) – Transclude only the first template (excluding templates blacklisted at [[Module:Excerpt/config]], as well as all other element types)
*:* ((para|only|templates)) – Transclude all templates (excluding blacklisted templates),  (but nothing else) 
*:* ((para|only|paragraph)) – Transclude only the first paragraph, exclude all other element types
*:* ((para|only|paragraphs)) – Transclude all paragraphs (but nothing else)
* ((para|files))
*: An ''element item'' param, defining which files to transclude. Default: all files. 
*:* ((para|files|A.jpg)) – Transclude the file named 'A.jpg'
*:* ((para|files|A.jpg, B.png, C.gif)) – Transclude the files named 'A.jpg', 'B.png' and 'C.gif'
*:* ((para|files|.+%.png)) – Transclude all PNG files
*:* ((para|files|-A.jpg)) – Transclude all files except the one named 'A.jpg'
*:* ((para|files|-A.jpg, B.png, C.gif)) – Transclude all files except the ones named 'A.jpg', 'B.png' and 'C.gif'
*:* ((para|files|-.+%.png)) – Transclude all non-PNG files
* ((para|paragraphs))
*: An ''element item'' param, defining which paragraphs to transclude. By default all paragraphs are transcluded.
*:* ((para|paragraphs|0)) – Transclude no paragraphs
*:* ((para|paragraphs|1)) – Transclude the first paragraph
*:* ((para|paragraphs|2)) – Transclude the second paragraph
*:* ((para|paragraphs|1,3)) – Transclude the first and third paragraphs
*:* ((para|paragraphs|1-3)) – Transclude the first, second and third paragraphs
*:* ((para|paragraphs|1-3,5)) – Transclude the first, second, third and fifth paragraphs
*:* ((para|paragraphs|-1)) – Transclude all paragraphs except the first
*:* ((para|paragraphs|-2)) – Transclude all paragraphs except the second
*:* ((para|paragraphs|-1,3)) – Transclude all paragraphs except the first and third
*:* ((para|paragraphs|-1-3)) – Transclude all paragraphs except the first, second and third
*:* ((para|paragraphs|-1-3,5)) – Transclude all paragraphs except the first, second, third and fifth
* ((para|subsections|yes))
*: An ''element item'' param, defining which subsections of the source to transclude. Default: only the portion of the source lying above the first subsection header. Notice that if the transclusion is done from a section level 3 in the transcluding page, and the transcluded subsections are also level 3, then transcluded subsections will show with the same hierarchy as the transcluding section, which may not be the desired outcome, so use with caution.
* ((para|tables))
*: An ''element item'' param, defining which tables to transclude. Default: all tables. Same syntax as when transcluding paragraphs, but also:
*:* ((para|tables|Stats2020)) – Transclude the table with id 'Stats2020'
*:* ((para|tables|Stats2020, Stats2019, Stats2018)) – Transclude the tables with ids 'Stats2020', 'Stats2019' and 'Stats2018'
*:* ((para|tables|-Stats2020)) – Transclude all tables except the one with id 'Stats2020'
*:* ((para|tables|-Stats2020, Stats2019, Stats2018)) – Transclude all tables except the ones with ids 'Stats2020', 'Stats2019' and 'Stats2018'
* ((para|templates))
*: An ''element item'' param, defining which templates to transclude. Default: all templates except those blacklisted at [[Module:Excerpt/config]]. Using a hyphen (minus sign) before a comma-delimited list of templates excludes those templates from transclusion.
*:* ((para|templates|-Ocean)) – Add the template 'Ocean' to the blacklist
*:* ((para|templates|-Ocean, Nature)) – Add the templates 'Ocean' and 'Nature' to the blacklist
*:* ((para|templates|Infobox person)) – Ignore the blacklist and transclude the template 'Infobox person'
*:* ((para|templates|Infobox person, Ocean)) – Ignore the blacklist and transclude the templates 'Infobox person' and 'Ocean'
*:* ((para|templates|.*)) – Ignore the blacklist and transclude all templates

== Tips and how-to ==

=== Compared to #section ===
((Further|Help:Transclusion#Standard section transclusion))

For simple cases of transcluding sections of articles, the ((pf|section)), ((pf|section-x)), and ((pf|section-h)) (abbreviated ((pf|lst)), ((pf|lstx)), and ((pf|lsth)))) parser functions can be used instead of this template. ((pf|lsth|''article''|''fragmentname'')) will transclude the section of "''article''" with the header "''fragmentname''", and ((pf|lsth|''article'')) will transclude the lead section of "''article''". Excerpting only specific paragraphs can be done by marking up the source article with <code><nowiki><section begin=</nowiki>''<nowiki>fragmentname</nowiki>''<nowiki>/>...<section end=</nowiki>''<nowiki>fragmentname</nowiki>''<nowiki>/></nowiki></code> tags and using ((pf|lst|''article''|''fragmentname'')) to transclude those fragments, which is equivalent to using the ((para|fragment|''fragmentname'')) parameter with this template. ((pf|lsth|''article''|''fragmentname'')) can also be used to transclude everything ''but'' those fragments.

The text will not be trimmed of excess whitespace, there will not be a header (equivalent to ((para|hat|no)), and all files, templates, tables, references, and subsections will be included unless the source article is marked up with <code><nowiki><section begin=</nowiki>''<nowiki>fragmentname</nowiki>''<nowiki>/>...<section end=</nowiki>''<nowiki>fragmentname</nowiki>''<nowiki>/></nowiki></code>, ((tag|noinclude)), or ((tag|onlyinclude)) tags. [[Help:Self link|Self links]] will appear in bold.

=== Differing citation styles ===
((Further|Wikipedia:Citing sources#Variation in citation methods))

It can happen that the source you want to excerpt contains footnotes in a [[WP:CITEVAR|different citation style]] than your article, and excerpting the source would cause a citation style mismatch, which is contrary to the guideline on [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|citing sources]]. Sometimes, excerpt can still be used, while avoiding a mismatch in style, by the use of params ((para|references|no)) and ((para|inline|yes)).

If the source you want to excerpt has multiple ref-tags interspersed throughout the source, and they need to display exactly in those locations in order to maintain full [[WP:V|verifiability]], then this source might not be a good candidate for transclusion via the ((tl|excerpt)) template, and [[WP:CWW|copying the content]] from the source into the article might be a better choice. 

However, if the source page you want to excerpt has either: 
* references mostly or all at the end of the text, or 
* references scattered throughout the source, but which could legitimately be regrouped at the end of the excerpt without adversely affecting [[WP:V|verifiability]],
then you can do it. To implement this, use params ((para|references|no)) to strip the ref-tags from the transcluded content, and ((para|inline|yes)) to define the excerpt as an [[HTML element#Inline elements|inline display element]] in order to ((slink||Suppress line breaks between paragraphs)), and then manually append a copy of all the references in the source immediately after the excerpt tag ending curly braces in the target article, with no intervening line breaks, white space, or other characters between the tag and the appended references. The copied references will have to be manually converted from [[Wikipedia:Citing sources#Short and full citations|short footnote-style to full, inline citation-style]], or vice-versa, to match the citation style of the target.

=== Excerpt trees ===

[[File:Excerpt tree.png|thumb|Visual representation of an imaginary excerpt tree.]]

When a very general article uses excerpts from more specific articles, which in turn use excerpts from even more specific articles, then a [[tree structure]] emerges, called an "Excerpt tree".

Here you can navigate the main excerpt trees on the English Wikipedia. It's useful for editors interested in expanding or improving them. To navigate the trees, click the following button<sup><abbr title="((Int:gadgets-sister))">(S)</abbr></sup>:

</div>

===Refinement using inclusion control===

((Further|Help:Template#Noinclude, includeonly, and onlyinclude))

Sometimes, a passage will almost fit for a transclusion, but not quite. In these cases, you can edit the source page to add <code><nowiki><noinclude>...</noinclude></nowiki></code> tags around content you don't want in the excerpt and <code><nowiki><includeonly>...</includeonly></nowiki></code> tags around content you want only in the excerpt.

For instance, the page [[COVID-19 misinformation]] begins with "The [[COVID-19 pandemic]] has resulted in [[misinformation]]...". However, when excerpting this lead to the misinformation section of [[COVID-19 pandemic]], we don't need to specify which pandemic we're referring to. Therefore, the code <code><nowiki>The <noinclude>[[COVID-19 pandemic]]</noinclude><includeonly>pandemic</includeonly> has resulted in [[misinformation]]</nowiki></code> can be used at the misinformation page, so that it will appear at the pandemic page as "The pandemic has resulted in [[misinformation]]...".

For pages with a high volume of edits, it may be a good idea to leave a hidden comment explaining why the tags are there, so that no one will be [[WP:FENCE|tempted]] to remove them, like so: <code><nowiki>The <noinclude>[[COVID-19 pandemic]]</noinclude><!--These tags are used to refine the excerpt at [[COVID-19 pandemic]]--><includeonly>pandemic</includeonly> has resulted in [[misinformation]]</nowiki></code>

Please note that when the <code><nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code> tag is wrapped into a new line, a character next to it would be interpreted as a line beginning. This can lead to some formatting problems. For example, when a <code><nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code> at line beginning is succeeded by a [[whitespace character]], the page engine would translate this as a [[Help:Wikitext#Limiting formatting / escaping wiki markup|leading space]] that renders the subsequent paragraph in [[code block]] and [[monospaced font]] with preserved formatting. For this reason, no spaces should separate the <code><nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code> tag from the text it precedes.

=== Replacing summary section with excerpt of child article ===

[[File:How to excerpt.webm|thumb|How to replace a section with an excerpt.]]

A section is often a [[WP:Summary style|summary]] in a [[WP:G#Parent article|parent article]] of a more detailed page about a subtopic located in a [[WP:G#child page|child page]]; these are generally linked with [[Template:Main]] in the parent. Sometimes it's convenient to replace the content of such a summary section in the parent with an excerpt of the child page lead (after merging any valuable content of the section into the child page). In such cases, an efficient way to proceed is:

# Open the parent section for editing in one tab, and the child article in another.
# Copy the text of the parent section and append it to the lead section of the child page.
# Consolidate and adjust the combined lead using common sense.
# Save the changes in the child article with an edit summary like: "((xt|<nowiki>Copied content from [[Page]]. See that article's history for attribution."</nowiki>))
# Back in the parent page section, delete all content except the section header and replace it with an excerpt of the child page.
# Save the changes in the section; proposed [[WP:ES|edit summary]]: "((xt|Moved section content to <nowiki>[[Child page title]]</nowiki> and replaced with excerpt.))"

=== Suppress line breaks between paragraphs ===

If you want to merge two excerpted paragraphs from a source into one longer one in your article, use two excerpts instead of one, and change the display mode to [[HTML element#Inline elements|inline]]. So, for example, instead of this :
: ((tlc|excerpt|Ocean color|paragraphs((=))2-3|file((=))no)) // (example taken from [[Ocean#Color]])
you could code:
: ((tlc|excerpt|Ocean color|paragraphs((=))2|file((=))no|inline((=))yes))
: ((tlc|excerpt|Ocean color|paragraphs((=))3|file((=))no|inline((=))yes))
and this will remove the [[Help:Line-break handling#Newlines|line break]] between the two paragraphs, so they will render as one paragraph.

By default, an ((tl|excerpt)) generates an HTML [[div and span#Differences and default behaviour|div-tag]], which is a [[HTML element#Block elements|block-level display element]], so contiguous excerpts are normally separate block elements with line breaks between them. This can be overridden through use of param ((para|inline|yes)), which suppresses the div-tag, and results in an [[HTML element#Inline elements|inline display element]] instead. In this case, just as with running text on adjacent lines of [[wikicode]], no line break is generated between them.
This technique can also be adapted to [[#Differing citation styles|§&nbsp;change citation style]] or use different references.

==Advantages and disadvantages==

The use of ((tl|Excerpt)) has the following advantages:

* '''Reduces maintenance''' by avoiding duplicate content that must be updated multiple times
* '''Improves content quality''' by encouraging editors to merge related content, rather than having multiple versions in various stages of development (see [[#Replacing summary section with excerpt of child article]])
* '''Fosters collaboration''' by channeling contributors into one place, rather than working in parallel
* '''Promotes rapid development''' of articles, especially those written in [[WP:Summary style|summary style]]

It also has the following disadvantages:

* '''Impediment to editing''' as you have to go to the sub article to make changes to the main article (though excerpts include a hatnote with an [edit] button to edit the excerpted article in one click)
* '''Reduces accuracy''' as an excerpt of one article is not always a perfect fit into a new article (but see [[#Refinement using inclusion control]])
* '''Decreases visibility''' as changes to the sub article will not appear on the watchlist of editors of the main article (see [[phab:T55525]])
* '''Risk of linkrot''' as pages or sections are blanked, moved, or deleted; this may result in the appearance of [[#Error messages|§&nbsp;error messages]] on the page (but all broken excerpts are automatically tracked at [[:Category:Articles with broken excerpts]] and regularly fixed).
* '''Duplicated references''' since references are pulled from the source article and the destination article may already have the reference (but see ((slink||Differing citation styles)) above).

== Error messages ==

If an error is detected, an error message will appear in the article in place of the expected transcluded content:
<!-- Error messages accessed by Module:Transcluder using  [[c:Data:I18n/Module:Transcluder.tab]]-->
* <span class="error">No page given</span> – No page was passed to the template <!--error-no-page-->
* <span class="error">Title X is not valid</span> – The title passed is not valid (contains [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)#Forbidden characters|forbidden characters]] such as < or >) <!--error-invalid-title-->
* <span class="error">Page X not found</span> – The page passed does not exist, or the page is a redirect and the target page was not found <!--error-page-not-found-->
* <span class="error">Lead section is empty</span> – The page exists, but cannot excerpt from non-existent lead <!--error-lead-empty-->
* <span class="error">Section X not found</span> – The page exists, but cannot excerpt the desired section because either:
** The given section does not exist. <!--error-section-not-found--> This may occur if the source page section is removed or renamed. To help mitigate this, see [[MOS:BROKENSECTIONLINKS]].
** The given section exists, but is excluded from transclusion by one of the [[Help:Template#Inclusion control: noinclude, includeonly, and onlyinclude|inclusion control]] tags. 
* <span class="error">Section X is empty</span> – The given section exists, but is empty <!--error-section-empty-->
* <span class="error">Template loop detected</span> – The excerpted section contains itself an excerpt. While this is not strictly a template loop, the software considers it so. To fix it, skip the intermediate excerpt ([[Special:Diff/1184292340|example]]).
