Help request

I want to use a subsection of an existing article as a section in an article I'm writing. I used copy/past to get the text, and cited it with the {{
}}
thing no problem. BUT.... Is it possible to link to the subsection in the main article in such a way (some wikitext way) that will allow the section in my article to be updated automatically if it is changed in the main article?
- Technically it's possible to do that, but I would strongly advise against it. You can easily "transclude" an entire article (categories, maintenance templates and all!) with this code: {{:Article title}} The colon here is important because otherwise the software would try to transclude a template, not an article, of that title. Now you could edit the article you want to transclude and enclose all its content except the section you want in <noinclude></noinclude> tags. But then what you display in your article may change at will if someone else edits the "source" article without realizing that doing so will affect other pages.
- The standard approach is instead to duplicate the content - the focus of the coverage in the two articles may be different, and there's no reason to expect that we'll want to keep the sections in the two articles identical for all time. Huon (talk) 13:08, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, Huon. You have put my mind at ease!
- Hi ChaiMontg. I was coming her to say something similar to Huon, and agree with everything said. While I was looking at the draft and the section you copied and pasted, I noticed that you did so without providing mandatory copyright attribution. I've fixed this with a dummy edit providing the attribution in the edit summary. See here. Please note for future reference that when you copy from another article you must provide copyright attribution. The details are at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia, and see especially the section from that page found through the shortcut WP:PATT.

[edit]Hi Chaimon! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. - Sumanuil.

- Thank you, I will take note of this and be more careful in future! Chaimon 03:16, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
