WikiDocs 2.0

The confusing bit is that there are two WikiDocs in place. The old one is deprecatated, which is accessed via urls like musicbrainz.org/'''wd'''/PageName, and the new WikiDocs which uses the MainWiki and is accessed via musicbrainz.org/'''doc'''/PageName. From now on WikiDocs alway means the latter one.

How To Transclude a WikiDocs Page

Only TransclusionEditors are able to do this. Go to the Wiki Transclusion Table. There you will see lines like the example below, which can be edited, remove and new ones be added. When a WikiDocs page has been edited by a fellow Wikizen and the changes confirm with the style guidelines and other social aspects, and most important, make the documentation better - then the change should be reflected on the main server. The new revision of the page therefore has to be updated to the next (or maybe even latest) revision number, and changes be stored with pressing the Edit button.
