Just want to incorporate the daily motto of the day
from wikipedia into my
own wiki outside wikipedia :)
Well, you won't get it that way, because transclusion is a complex
operation and we can't even reuse templates between different
Wikimedia projects (although there is a buggy possibility). For
outside wiki, three ways are possible:
1. Create a bot that copies the template once a day. Pywikipedia
framework can be used for that.
2. Write an extension that will make a http-request to Wikipedia and
translude its results. I haven't seen one already, but it should be
pretty trivial. You may also want to search
http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Extensions.
3. Create a JavaScript that will put it inside a small <iframe />.
This is a rather ugly way, so it goes last in this list.
