My question is: If I don't want those links, can I include just part of this page as template?

Or in order words: Can I say how many lines I want to be included in other page using 'referring to the template'?

Well, in recent versions (possibly only 1.6alpha, though it may be in 1.5 as well) you can use <noinclude> and <includeonly> tags to enclose parts of a template you only want displayed when viewing it directly...

Works in 1.5.4, at least.

BTW: this is WONDERFUL for documenting templates! I used to document templates on the Talk page, but this made it harder for occasional users to figure out. Here's a couple examples:
