MediaWiki support and documentation
Transclusion is the inclusion of content by reference. MediaWiki has a plugin for it, which would be ready for use in RosettaCode thanks to consistent use of headers per-programming language, through the header-based transclusion command it adds to wiki markup.
The plugin is not currently installed, according to the Special:Version page.

Transclusion scratch space
It says the function can be called as follows:
{{#lsth:pagename|sectionX}}
Current guess is that using the {{header|...}} macro in a section name is preventing the title from being recognized to do the transclusion
- The extension "Labeled Section Transclusion" isn't available on Rosetta Code. Thus
lsthisn't recognized as a parser hook and the whole{{#...}}part is interpreted as normal text. --Andreas Perstinger (talk) 09:25, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
Attempted Usage
I would like to call:
=={{header|OCaml}}==
from the Pythagorean triples page. Also not working:
{{#lsth:Pythagorean triples|OCaml}}
{{#lsth:Pythagorean triples|OCaml}} nor:
{{#lsth:Pythagorean triples|{{header|OCaml}}}}
{{#lsth:Pythagorean triples|OCaml}}
