Actually using the tag approach (or a parser func such as #iframe) is the
preferred approach imo.
Using transcluded special pages disables parser cache by default which
would have a negative impact on performance.
Otherwise there is probably not much difference. Parser tags lets you
interact with the mediawiki parser, which is often useful, but probably not
for your extension.

Hi,
to embed an iframe into a wiki page the above extension uses
{{Special:IframePage|wiwi|path="examples?R=data/bivariate/chi2_coefficients/example_chi2coeff.R"}}
I wrote a similar extension which is called by
<iframe k="wiwi"
p="examples?R=data/bivariate/chi2_coefficients/example_chi2coeff.R" />
I would like to know what would be the advantage of using {{Special:...}}
rather
than <iframe ... />.
Thanks Sigbert
