Some special pages are coded to be includable, and can be transcluded
into articles as normal, although sometimes the results are dubious
(due to parser caches, etc).
Special:Version is not an includable special page, so it doesn't work
for that. What information from the page did you want? IIRC, the
version number of the software is exposed as a magic word -
CURRENTVERSION.
