You need to insert only a part of the article[edit | edit source]
Sometimes you need to insert only a part of the article, not whole article. Then you have to mark text, you do not want to choose. Edit the article, you want to insert, and in the beginning of the text you do not want to choose insert <noinclude> and in the end of this text insert </noinclude>. The text marked by this command will stay in this original article, but will not be used in your article.
This command is usually used for the reference list.
If you need to mark the text, you want to insert, you have to use very similar command. The beginning of the text mark by command <includeonly> and its end </includeonly>. Then only this part of the text will be used in your article.
Example:
== Car == Car is a vehicle. <noinclude> == Reference list == The world of cars, 2009 </noinclude>
Every article, which is inserted in another article should by protected by template {{Inserted article}}. This template should be inserted in the beginning of this article and contains the warning note about editing of this article.
