# Template:Include #
#################################################################################
# This template is designed to include (transclude, insert) the text of a       #
# specified page (or pages) but ONLY if the page exists.  It can be provided up #
# to 3 possible pages, in which case it will include the first of the pages that#
# exist and skip the rest.                                                      #
#                                                                               #
# Its advantage over directly using the standard wiki-function {{#ifexist:}} is #
# that if a given page is not used, then the page is completely skipped.  With  #
# a simple ifexist-clause, an unused page is actually still expanded into the   #
# article, causing unnecessary overhead when parsing the page, and causing a    #
# link between the page and the article (i.e., the page shows up in templates   #
# used by the article; the article shows up in what-links-here for the page;    #
# etc.).  This template causes an empty template, [[Template:X0]] to be used in #
# place of the unused page.                                                     #
#                                                                               #
# Syntax:                                                                       #
#   Up to 3 unnamed parameters provide the names of the pages to try including. #
#       Only the first page that exists is used.                                #
#   prefix = optional text to display before the page contents (only shown if   #
#            a page exists)                                                     #
#   else = optional text to display if no page exists                           #
#                                                                               #
# Example:                                                                      #
#   {{Include|Oblivion:NotAPage|Oblivion:Nirnroot|Oblivion:Corn                 #
#            |prefix=Page contents are:<br>|else:No page exists}}               #
#   Only the contents of Oblivion:Nirnroot will be displayed                    #
