<div style="padding: 5px 10px 5px; border-left: 5px solid lightpink;">When transcluding or substituting a page other than a template, the template call is slightly different in source editing. The prefix “Template:” is left out, but the ''namespace'' prefix should be used for any other type of page. For example, this help page is called with <code><nowiki>{{Help:Templates}}</nowiki></code>. For main namespace (articles), the namespace prefix is empty, so only a colon : is used, for example <code><nowiki>{{:Tristan Wolf}}</nowiki></code> for [[Tristan Wolf]]. | <div style="padding: 5px 10px 5px; border-left: 5px solid lightpink;">When transcluding or substituting a page other than a template, the template call is slightly different in source editing.
