 Displaying one page within another = Transclusion
Including the contents of a template page on a different page (by surrounding the page name with double braces, i.e. "{{}}" and leaving out the "Template:" prefix) is called transclusion. This allows the other page to be automatically updated whenever the template page is updated. Besides templates, pages in the following namespaces can be transcluded:
The only difference between transcluding these and templates is that you must include the prefix (followed by a colon) with the page's name inside the double braces. Images also can be transcluded, but this is done using double square brackets instead of braces. Here are some examples of transclusion: {{Pic of the day}} · {{Help:Contents}} · [[Image:Wikipedia-logo.png]] – – Read more: To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}
