sknebel [jgmac1106]: Mediawiki specifically calls it "transclusion" afaik, and I think the user-facing part is IMHO more interesting than any technical aspects. to me, "embed" is more "you embed an entire thing (document, video, Instagram post, ...) as a box on a page", vs wiki transclusion transparently puts things in the page. E.g. the micro-hcard templates on the wiki replace the text inline, it's not obvious that it's from somewhere else
